FAQ
What are text faces?
Text faces — also called kaomoji or ASCII emoticons — are faces and gestures drawn from text characters, like ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ or ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°). Because they're text, they look the same on every app, OS and device.
How are text faces different from emoji?
Picture emoji (😀, 🤷) are rendered by the platform — they can change appearance between iPhone, Android and Windows. Text faces are characters; they always render exactly the same.
Where do text faces come from?
Most originated in Japanese kaomoji culture (read upright, not tilted), then spread worldwide through Reddit, forums and IRC.
