What this does
So you want to drop one of those little text faces into a message, the shrug one ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ or a cute (◕‿◕✿), but you have no idea how to type it. This is the easy way. Browse the faces, click the one you want, and it copies straight to your clipboard, ready to paste anywhere.
How to use it
- Scroll through the faces above and find one you like.

- Paste it wherever you need, a chat, a post, a username, or a comment.
That is the whole thing, no typing the strange characters yourself.
What are text faces
These are called kaomoji, which is Japanese for "face characters". They came out of the Japanese internet in the 1980s, and the clever thing about them is that you read them straight on, not tilted. Compare them to the Western style emoticon like :) where you tip your head sideways to see the smile. A kaomoji like (◕‿◕) is already facing you.
Because they are built from ordinary text characters rather than pictures, they work almost anywhere text does, and they can carry a lot of personality, a shrug, a wink, pure joy, or the classic table flip (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻.
Where to use them
People drop text faces into chats and messages, into social posts and comments, into usernames and bios, into stream chats, and into the odd work message when an emoji feels too plain. The table flip is a classic for mock frustration, the shrug for a cheerful "who knows", and the cute faces for being friendly. Since they are just text, they tend to survive being copied between apps that handle emoji differently.
Questions people ask
How do I copy a text face?
Click the one you want. It copies to your clipboard and shows a quick Copied message, then you can paste it anywhere.
What is the difference between a kaomoji and an emoji?
An emoji is a single picture character. A kaomoji is a face built from ordinary text symbols, read straight on rather than sideways, so it works in more places and tends to look the same everywhere.
Will they work everywhere I paste them?
Mostly, yes. Because they are made of standard text characters, they show up in most chats, posts, and apps. A few very plain text fields might not render every symbol.
Do I need to install anything?
No. Just click to copy, then paste. There is nothing to download.
