About Kaomoji Copy Paste

Kaomoji Copy Paste is the free website at https://kaomojicopypaste.com/. It helps people find, copy and understand upright Japanese text faces. Contact the editors at contact@kaomojicopypaste.com.

The problem that started this

Why did this kaomoji library get built?

A friend sends (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻. You paste it into Discord. Markdown eats the arms. The joke dies.

Another person copies a glitter-heavy face into an Instagram username. The platform rejects the symbols. They needed a shorter, safer string.

A third person searches “cute kaomoji” and lands on a dump of unlabeled faces. They cannot tell a shy blush from a sad wobble, or which string is the exact copy.

Kaomoji Copy Paste exists so those three failures stop repeating. Keep the raw Unicode. Name the mood. Warn when a face is risky for bios, usernames or Markdown.

The site is a working library, not a blog about feelings. Each collection page is a filterable set of Japanese emoticons built from letters, punctuation and symbols. You tap Copy and paste the same characters into a chat, caption, bio or name field.

What do we actually know about kaomoji?

A kaomoji is an upright text emoticon, not a graphic emoji. Eyes, mouths, frames, arms and decorations are separate Unicode characters. Changing one mark can move the reading from happy to worried.

We treat meaning as convention, not law. (＾▽＾) is commonly cheerful because the mouth opens upward. (T_T) is commonly crying because the eyes look like tears. Surrounding words can still make either face sarcastic.

We also track failure modes that generic emoji pages ignore: Markdown stripping backslashes in the shrug, fonts missing Kannada or math glyphs, username character bans, and fullwidth spacing that looks even in one app and broken in another.

(＾▽＾)

Exact copy string

The characters you see are the characters placed on the clipboard. We do not convert a face into a lookalike emoji.

(T_T)

Readable labels

Mood, intensity, gesture and theme are assigned so search matches how people ask: cute, sad, cat, shrug, bio-safe.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Compatibility notes

Some faces need a simpler fallback when a destination font, username rule or Markdown parser breaks the original.

How the work is done

How do we label and review text faces?

Each listed kaomoji should be a recognizable text face with one primary mood and the exact raw string used for copying. Decorative clutter that is not a face does not belong in the results.

  • Confirm the string is copyable Unicode, not an image.
  • Assign one primary mood; add secondary attributes only when they are visible.
  • Keep the copy string identical to the displayed face.
  • Flag long or rare-symbol faces that fail on common devices.
  • Correct a wrong label when a reader writes to contact@kaomojicopypaste.com.
Volume is not the quality test. A smaller set of correctly labeled faces is more useful than an unlabeled dump. Draft variations stay drafts until a human can recognize the expression.

Copy a short face when a graphic emoji feels too loud or the tone needs a specific mouth or gesture.
