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.
