Text emoticons, also known as kaomoji, are expressive faces and figures made entirely from Unicode-tekst characters. Unlike standard emoji that rely on images rendered differently across platforms, text emoticons are built from combinations of letters, punctuation marks, and special Unicode symbols—meaning they look the same everywhere and never appear as blank squares or boxes.
Our collection features over 300 text emoticons organized into 20 mood-based categories covering every emotion and situation you can imagine: from joyful celebrations ヽ(>∀<☆)ノ and tearful sadness (╥﹏╥) to fierce fighting stances (ง'̀-'́)ง and magical sparkles (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧. Each emoticon is zorgvuldig samengesteld and tested across major platforms to ensure compatibility.
Kaomoji originated in Japan during the 1980s as a way to express emotions in text-based communication. Unlike Western emoticons that are read sideways (like :-) ), Japanese kaomoji are read face-on and use a much wider range of Unicode characters to create detailed expressions. The word kaomoji itself combines the Japanese words for face (顔, kao) and character (文字, moji).
Today, text emoticons are used across all sociale media platforms, messaging apps, forums, and games. They are especially popular on Discord, Reddit, Twitch, Twitter/X, and Instagram where users add personality to their messages. Because they are pure text, they werken in gebruikersnamen, bio's, email subjects, and elk tekstveld—places where image-based emoji may not be supported.
Every emoticon on this page copies with a enkele klik. No apps to install, no fonts to download. Just find the perfect face, click it, and paste it wherever you want.
