Happy kaomoji

About these kaomoji

Big grins, raised arms and squeezed-shut eyes: these faces say good news without a single word. Drop one after a passed exam, a funny meme or a message from someone you missed, and the whole chat feels lighter.

There are 37 happy kaomoji on this page, from the short (^▽^) to the long ☆*:.｡.o(≧▽≦)o.｡.:*☆. A face here is 7 characters long on average.

Together they use 50 different characters from 18 Unicode blocks, most of them from Halfwidth and Fullwidth Forms, Spacing Modifier Letters, Katakana. The characters you meet most often here are ▽ hollow down-pointing triangle (9), ＾ fullwidth circumflex accent (6), ｡ halfwidth ideographic full stop (6), ヽ katakana iteration mark (5), ≧ greater-than over equal (5).

The favourite eyes are ≧ ≦ (5), ◕ ◕ (3), ^ ^ (3), and the most common mouths are ▽ (9), ‿ (4), ∀ (3). 11 of the 37 faces have arms, which makes them look like they move.

13 are on the cute side, 23 are classics you will see everywhere, and 32 are short enough for a username or a game chat. Some faces fit more than one mood: 2 also in Blushing.

Tips for using them

• Tap a face to copy it, then paste it with a long press on your phone or Ctrl+V on a computer. Turn on Collect to line up several faces and copy them in one go.
• Kaomoji are text, so they take the font of the app. A face can look a little wider or narrower in WhatsApp than here; that is normal.
• If a face shows an empty box on an old phone, it uses a rare character (from Spacing Modifier Letters, Phonetic Extensions, Arabic). Pick a face without it.
