Kaomoji Copy Paste

Japanese text faces — ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°), (╯°□°）╯ — search and copy.

The Kaomoji Copy Paste library collects Japanese text faces — kaomoji ('face marks') built from keyboard characters — with search by mood: happy, angry, crying, hugging, cat and the internet's beloved Lenny face.

Kaomoji have a charm emoticons never matched: they are read upright, they are keyboard-built so they render on literally anything, and their variety (¯\_(ツ)_/¯, (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻, ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ) carries nuance plain words cannot. Search by feeling or browse the full gallery, then click to copy.

Because they are pure text, kaomoji work in plain-text fields, code comments and old systems alike. All browsing and copying happen locally in your browser.

Kaomoji are Japanese-style text faces built from keyboard characters — they render on any device because they are plain text. Click to copy.

How to use the Kaomoji Copy Paste

  1. Search by mood (happy, angry, hug, cat, dance…) or scroll the gallery.
  2. Click any face to copy it.
  3. Paste it wherever you want to express the feeling.
  4. Combine several in one message for full effect.
  5. No limits — copy as many as you like.

Frequently asked questions

What does kaomoji mean?

It combines 'kao' (face) and 'moji' (character) — text faces built from Japanese and ASCII characters, popularized on early Japanese BBS and now a global internet language.

Are they compatible with old systems?

Mostly yes — they use common keyboard characters. Some faces include rarer symbols (arrows, stars) that old fonts may not have, but the core faces work almost anywhere.

Why is the Lenny face so popular?

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) — built from the 'combining tilde overlay' trick — became a meme because it looks mischievous and reads sideways-consistent. It is the internet's default 'I know something you don't' face.
