How it works

These shocked kaomoji have wide eyes and, most of them, an open mouth. None is sweating: a gasp with a drop is nervous, and that is another page. The first is the plain (°o°). Tap a face and it is copied.

A shock kaomoji by its mouth

The mouth sets the size of the shock. A small o is a mild oh. A square, ロ or □, is aghast. Д, a Cyrillic letter de, is the jaw on the floor. Σ in front is a jolt: Wikipedia's list of emoticons gives Σ(゚Д゚) for huge surprise.

Surprised kaomoji, keyboard only

Keyboard only keeps the nine faces made of plain ASCII, O_O first. The same Wikipedia list gives O_O and o_o for surprise and shock. Capital letters make wider eyes than small ones, and 0_0 uses zeros.

  • Gloom lines are the three upright strokes in (|||°Д°). The river kanji 川 does the same job in (°□°川).
  • Thirteen faces carry a Japanese word. Wiktionary gives bikkuri as startled and gān as the sound of a stunning shock.
  • A gasp with a sweat drop is on nervous kaomoji, and one with a question mark on confused kaomoji.

Questions and answers

What does Σ(゚Д゚) mean?

Huge surprise: Wikipedia's list of emoticons records it that way. Σ is Greek capital letter sigma, used here as a jolt through the body, and Д is Cyrillic capital letter de, used as a dropped jaw.

How do you type a shocked kaomoji on a keyboard?

Capital O, underscore, capital O: O_O. Add brackets for (O_O), or exclamation marks for (O_O)!!. The Keyboard only chip shows all nine that need nothing a keyboard lacks.

What is the difference between shocked and nervous kaomoji?

A sweat drop. On this site a wide-eyed face with a semicolon beside it, or extra brackets for shaking, is nervous. The faces here are dry: the shock has landed and the worrying has not started.

What are the lines in (|||°Д°)?

Gloom lines: three upright strokes beside the eyes, for a face that has just heard bad news. Here they are vertical bars typed on a keyboard. Nine faces have them.

How this list was compiled: The entries are this site's own selection and arrangement: each was put together for this page from the parts a kaomoji is made of (brackets, wide eyes, an open mouth, a jolt mark, exclamation marks, gloom lines). Some are forms in common use that nobody owns: Wikipedia's List of emoticons (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_emoticons, read 2026-09-30) gives O_O and o_o for surprise and shock, and Σ(゚Д゚) for huge surprise. The labels, groups and order are this site's own. No face here is on another kaomoji page of this site: a gasp with a sweat drop or a shake stays on the nervous page, and one with a question mark on the confused page. The Japanese words come from Wiktionary, each entry read 2026-09-30: bikkuri, startledly, surprisedly (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/びっくり); gān, onomatopoeia for a stunning emotional shock (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/があん, where ガーン points); e, huh?, eh? (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/えっ); masaka, no way (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/まさか); uso, slang for no way, unbelievable (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/嘘); odoroki, surprise, astonishment, shock (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/驚き); gyotto, startled (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/ぎょっと); hatto, being shocked, surprised, taken aback (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/はっと); shokku, shock (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/ショック); gyōten, being deeply surprised (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/仰天); azen, dumbfounded, speechless (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/唖然); anguri, shocked with one's mouth open (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/あんぐり); gakuzen, amazed, astounded, astonished (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/愕然). The Unihan database, version 18.0.0, defines 口, U+53E3, as mouth. Every character of every entry was looked up in UnicodeData.txt, version 18.0.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/UnicodeData.txt), and must be an assigned, visible character. Emoji shown as pictures by default are left out. "Borrows" under an entry names each character from outside the blocks of punctuation, common symbols and Latin, Greek, Cyrillic and Japanese letters, with its script from Scripts.txt (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/Scripts.txt) or, for a Latin or common character, its block from Blocks.txt (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/Blocks.txt). "Is on the emoji list" names each character that has the Emoji property in emoji-data.txt, version 18.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/emoji/emoji-data.txt). "Short" means 6 code points or fewer, spaces counted. "Keyboard only" means every character is plain ASCII. Nothing here says how any one device draws a face. Licence: own work
