Happy kaomoji cover everything from a quiet smile to arms thrown in the air. The Japanese emoticon style has an advantage here that Western emoticons never had: because you read the face upright, it can include arms, sparkles and motion lines, so ＼(≧▽≦)／ shows genuine excitement rather than just a curved mouth.
Copy any face above for good news, wins and replies that need more energy than a thumbs up.
Frequently asked questions
What does ＼(≧▽≦)／ mean?
Delight with both arms raised. The ≧ and ≦ are squeezed-shut happy eyes and the backslash and forward slash are arms thrown up, so the whole thing reads as celebrating.
How do I type a happy kaomoji?
Copying is far quicker than typing — most use characters that are not on a standard keyboard. Tap any face here, or save your favourites with the heart button so they stay one tap away.
