What is a kaomoji?

Kaomoji (顔文字, literally “face characters”) are Japanese emoticons built out of ordinary letters and symbols. Unlike Western emoticons such as :-) they are read upright, not sideways — so (◕‿◕) is a face looking straight at you.

Why copy instead of type

Most kaomoji use characters that are not on any keyboard — Japanese punctuation, Cyrillic letters, combining marks. Getting the exact sequence right by hand is close to impossible, and retyping one usually breaks it. Clicking copies the exact characters.
