What is the excited text face?

(≧▽≦), \(◕‿◕)/ and ヽ(o＾▽＾o)ﾉ are the most copied.

What do the sparkles after a face mean?

*:･ﾟ✧ indicates something magical or long-awaited. It is the most effective decoration in kaomoji.

What is the difference between happy and excited faces?

The arms. Happy faces smile; excited faces throw their arms up. The eyes are often identical.

Which excited face looks most sincere?

Ones with squeezed curved eyes like ≧≦, because that is what a real involuntary smile does.

Excited Kaomoji ヽ(≧▽≦)ﾉ

Excited kaomoji are happy faces with the volume turned up, and the volume is set by the arms. ヽﾉ raises them; ＼／ throws them wide. The squeezed ≧ ≦ eyes complete it — eyes shut that tightly read as someone who cannot contain a reaction.

How to copy and type them

Tap any face to copy it. Paste with Ctrl+V, Cmd+V or long-press then Paste.

These are wide faces, so if you use one regularly a keyboard shortcut saves real effort — the full ヽ(≧▽≦)ﾉ is nine characters you would otherwise be hunting for. Save it under a trigger like `;yay`.

Where they work

All render in WhatsApp, Instagram, TikTok, Discord, Telegram and game chats. The arm characters ヽﾉ＼／ are katakana and fullwidth punctuation with universal support.

The width is the practical constraint. In a display name limited to 30 or 32 characters, an armed face leaves little room for the name itself, and in a narrow comment column it can wrap mid-face.

Which one to use

Use excited when the news deserves volume. For ordinary good news happy kaomoji is the better fit, for achievement proud kaomoji, and for sharing a moment rather than performing one celebration kaomoji.

How do I make an excited face myself?

Take any happy face and add arms. ヽ before the opening bracket and ﾉ after the closing one raises them; ＼ and ／ throw them wide. Then squeeze the eyes to ≧ and ≦ if you want the reaction to read as uncontainable rather than merely cheerful. Two edits, and you have moved a face two registers.

Will these fit in a display name?

Often not. ヽ(≧▽≦)ﾉ is nine characters before you add a name, and Discord caps display names at 32 while Instagram allows 30. If you want excitement in a name, drop the arms and add a single ✧ or ★ instead — it survives truncation better and stays readable at small sizes.

Do the arms have to match?

No — mismatched arms are a real style. ヽ(≧▽≦)ﾉ has matching raised arms, but (≧▽≦)ﾉ with one arm reads as waving rather than cheering. It is a smaller gesture and fits where the full version would be too much.
