Kiss kaomoji use one recognisable trick: the number 3 rotated in your mind becomes a pair of puckered lips, which is why ( ˘ ³˘) reads instantly as a kiss. Add a heart and it becomes affectionate; add ~ and it becomes a kiss blown across the room.
Tap any face to copy it. They suit replies to good news, goodbyes and messages to people you actually like.
Frequently asked questions
What does ( ˘ ³˘)♥ mean?
A kiss with affection. The ³ is the puckered mouth, the ˘ marks are closed contented eyes, and the heart makes the intent unambiguous.
What is the difference between kiss and kissy emoticons?
They are the same idea in two traditions. Kaomoji read upright and use ³ or ε for the mouth; Western emoticons read sideways, like :-* . Both are on the site — this page is the upright Japanese style.
