Kaomoji (顔文字, lit. “written expression”) are vertical emoticons that are compact and usually associated with Japanese internet culture. Of course, be advised that some emoticons may have alternate meanings or interpretations to other human beings.

This isn't going to be one of those web pages that provides 1,000+ assorted kaomoji to choose from, so I'm only listing a handful of kaomoji that pertain to this wiki or may possibly be of interest.

• （　・３・） - Borujoa.
• （　´_ゝ`） - Fuun.
• ＼(^o^)／ - Owata.
• （　・∀・） - Morala.
• m9(^Д^) - Pugya.
• （´・ω・｀） - Shobon or Ranran, depending on context.
• （`･ω･´） - Syakin.

• “Yán wénzì” (顔文字) is the Chinese reading, but “biǎoqíng fúhào” (表情符号) is one alternative.
