Frequently Asked Questions
What is kaomoji?
Kaomoji (顔文字) are Japanese-style text emoticons that use characters from various scripts to create expressive faces. Unlike Western emoticons (like :) or :( ), kaomoji are read upright and can convey complex emotions through detailed combinations of punctuation, letters, and symbols.
How do I copy a kaomoji?
Simply click on any kaomoji in the grid and it will be copied to your clipboard automatically. A green "Copied!" overlay will appear to confirm the action. You can then paste it anywhere using Ctrl+V (Windows/Linux) or Cmd+V (Mac).
How do I save my favorite kaomoji?
Click the star icon that appears in the top-right corner of any kaomoji when you hover over it. Starred kaomoji appear in the "Favorites" category tab. Click the star again to remove it from favorites.
Can I add my own custom kaomoji?
Yes! Switch to the "Custom" category tab and click "Add Custom". Enter the kaomoji text and a descriptive label. Your custom entries will be saved to localStorage and appear alongside built-in kaomoji.
Where are my custom kaomoji and favorites stored?
All data is stored in your browser's localStorage. Custom kaomoji and favorites persist across sessions but are tied to the specific browser and device. Clearing your browser data will delete them.
Do kaomoji work on all platforms?
Yes. Kaomoji are made entirely of standard Unicode text characters, so they display on every modern operating system and device without any special software. They work in web browsers, messaging apps, social media, and terminals.
Can I use kaomoji in Discord or Slack?
Absolutely! Kaomoji display perfectly in Discord, Slack, Telegram, WhatsApp, and most other chat platforms. Since they're just text, they won't be blocked by emoji-only filters and work in server names, nicknames, and status messages.
