Kaomoji to Copy and Paste

Faces made of text characters, one page per feeling, animal, gesture or prop. Tap a face and it is copied.

49 pages

Happy, laughing, toothy and smug 8

Smiles, teeth, winks, smirks, UwU mouths, arms in the air. Each page has its own eyes and mouth.

Hearts, love and blushing 5

Every face with a heart is on one page. Love, kissing, blushing and shy manage without one.

Sad, cross, shocked, creepy or worn out 12

Tears, frowns, glares, winces, gasps, sweat drops, masks, unblinking smiles, and the face of someone who read the group chat.

Shrugs, waves and other gestures 6

Faces that are mostly arms: the shrug, a thumbs up, a wave, a salute, pressed palms, and fists raised.

Animals 6

Cats, bears, dogs, fish, bunnies and one page for the rest. A cat holding a heart is still a cat.

Stars, flowers, music, halos, food, pens and seasons 9

Filed by the thing held. A face with two props goes to the first of heart, star, sparkle, flower, note, snow, food and pen.

Classic text faces 3

Sideways smileys and the Lenny face with all its relatives, faces made of Korean letters, and faces with borrowed Lao eyes.

Kaomoji are faces built from ordinary text characters and read upright, no tilt of the head needed. The style goes back to Japan in the 1980s and an early online service called ASCII NET, and the eyes do more of the work than the mouth.

More about these tools

Each page here is one feeling, animal, gesture or prop, laid out as tiles: tap a face and it is copied. A face lives on one page only: every face holding a heart is on the heart page, and the kissing page has none. This is not a kaomoji generator: nothing here is generated. Each face is put together from single characters, and every character in it was looked up in Unicode 18.0. A face that borrows a character from Thai, Georgian or Sinhala says so under its tile, because a device with no font for that script shows an empty box instead.
