FAQ
What are kaomoji?
Kaomoji (顔文字, "face characters") are Japanese-style emoticons built from Unicode characters, read upright instead of sideways: (◕‿◕) instead of :-). Because they are plain text, they work anywhere text does — no images, no special app needed.
What is the difference between kaomoji and emoji?
Emoji are single pictographic characters rendered as images by your device, so they look different on every platform. Kaomoji are combinations of regular text characters, so they look identical everywhere and inherit your font size and color.
Do kaomoji work on Discord, Instagram and TikTok?
Yes. Kaomoji are plain Unicode text, so they paste into Discord messages and statuses, Instagram bios and captions, TikTok comments, WhatsApp, Twitter/X and game chats. A few very old systems may show boxes for rare characters, but all modern apps render them fine.
How do I type kaomoji without copy-pasting?
On iPhone, a custom keyboard is the fastest way — the Fonts Pro keyboard lets you insert text faces and fancy fonts directly in any app. Otherwise, keep this page bookmarked and tap any face to copy it.
What does ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ mean?
It is the shrug kaomoji — "I don't know" or "whatever". The ツ character is the Japanese katakana "tsu", which happens to look like a smiling face. It is one of the most copied text faces on the internet.
