What are Kaomoji?
Kaomoji (顔文字) are Japanese emoticons that use a combination of
Japanese characters and punctuation marks to create faces. Unlike
Western emoticons that are read sideways like :), kaomoji are read
horizontally, such as (◕‿◕). They're popular in Japanese culture and
have spread globally through anime, manga, and social media.
How to Use
Simply search for emotions or expressions like "happy," "sad," or
"surprised" to find matching kaomoji. Click on any kaomoji to copy
it to your clipboard, then paste it into TikTok, messages, emails,
or any other platform. Kaomoji work everywhere since they're made of
standard text characters.
