About

Paste Kaomoji is a focused library for copying kaomoji and text faces. The goal is simple: find, copy, and paste, without a giant emoji catalog.

About Paste Kaomoji

Paste Kaomoji is a focused copy-paste library for Japanese-style text faces and related character expressions. Faces are Unicode text you can edit, not a sticker pack locked to one app.

Kaomoji (often called Japanese emoticons) are usually read upright, with eyes carrying most of the mood. This site groups faces by mood so you can find, copy, and paste without wading through thousands of random faces.

Each mood page on Paste Kaomoji pairs a face grid with a short explanation of how that mood is built: which eye shapes, mouths, arms, and symbols carry the feeling, and when the face fits a conversation. The aim is to help you choose a face with confidence instead of guessing from a long list. Pages also link to nearby moods, so you can move from sad to crying or from happy to excited when the first page is not quite right.

The site is kept intentionally simple. There are no accounts, no paid packs, and no uploads; faces are plain Unicode text that you copy with one tap. We review categories to remove duplicates, broken characters, and faces that do not fit a mood, and we welcome corrections by email when a face looks wrong on your device.

Faces are sorted by how they feel: core moods (cute, happy, cat, sad, crying, angry, and more), animals and reactions (heart, shy, bunny, dog, bear, smug, sleepy, confused, shocked), and the angrier extras (table flip, fight, pout). There are also pages for Japanese emoticons, text faces, a kaomoji generator, and a quick copy-and-paste list. Each mood gets one page, so you are not clicking through three near-identical lists to find the same faces.

Browse a mood, search the catalog, and tap Copy once to paste a face into chat. When you already know the feeling you want, a page for that mood is quicker than scrolling one giant list. You can also build a custom face with the Kaomoji Generator. Ads from Google AdSense help keep the site free; they sit below the page content, never inside the copy grids.

Faces on the site are Unicode text, the same kind of characters you can already type. Paste Kaomoji arranges them so they are easy to find. Start with cute kaomoji, happy kaomoji, or Japanese emoticons, and read the kaomoji guides to learn how to type and read them.

Much of the expanded face catalog comes from the open kaomoji-collection project (MIT License), curated by Kaomojiya (kaomojiya.org). Paste Kaomoji is not affiliated with that project. On top of the raw list, I remove duplicates, add English names and meanings, sort faces by mood, check that each face actually fits the page it is on, and add one-tap copy. It is not a straight copy of the source list.

Who runs Paste Kaomoji

Hi, I'm Muhammad Shahid. I build and run Paste Kaomoji as an independent project: I write the page explanations, the guides, and the seasonal blog posts, and I decide which faces belong on each page.

How faces are reviewed

  • One mood per page. Each page keeps faces that match its mood, so laughing faces live on giggling kaomoji instead of crowding the happy page.
  • Family-friendly by design. Faces with crude, suggestive, or offensive meanings are removed from the catalog, even when they appear in public kaomoji lists.
  • Names and meanings in English. Japanese sound words and symbols are explained on each page, so you know what a face says before you send it.
  • Tested on real devices. Faces are checked for copying and display on phones and computers; the guide to typing kaomoji covers fixes when something breaks.

Frequently asked questions

  • How are faces sorted into moods?

    Faces are grouped by the feeling their eyes, mouth, and extras suggest, then checked by hand. A face can appear on more than one page when it fits several moods, such as a blushing smile on both shy and happy.

  • Who is Paste Kaomoji for?

    Anyone who wants a fast, free way to copy kaomoji and text faces into chat, captions, or bios without creating an account.

  • Where do the faces come from?

    Much of the expanded catalog comes from the open kaomoji-collection project (MIT License), curated by Kaomojiya. Paste Kaomoji is not affiliated with that project. We dedupe faces, add English names and tags, and check each category so a face only shows up where its mood actually fits. It is not a straight copy of the source list.

  • Does this site sell faces or require signup?

    No. Faces are Unicode text arranged for browsing. There is no paywall and no account to make; you copy from the grid and paste wherever you need.
