220 kaomoji, searchable by mood. Type a feeling and the grid filters.
220 kaomoji
Use the arrow keys to move through the grid and Enter to copy. Add this page to your home screen and it opens like a keyboard app.
A kaomoji keyboard solves the problem browsing does not: you usually know the feeling before you know the face. Type a mood here and the grid filters as you type, across 220 faces in five categories.
How to use it
Type a feeling — happy, crying, confused — and the results narrow immediately. The category tabs filter by kind, and anything you tap is saved to Recent so the faces you actually use surface first.
Full keyboard navigation is supported: arrow keys move through the grid, Home and End jump to the ends, and Enter copies. That is faster than pointing at a phone screen if you are on a laptop.
Adding it to your phone
This works as a home-screen app without installing anything. On iPhone, open it in Safari, tap Share, then Add to Home Screen. On Android, use the browser menu and Add to Home Screen.
It then opens like an app, full screen, with your favourites and recents intact — which covers the case a text-replacement shortcut cannot, where you do not yet know which face you want.
Where the faces work
All 220 render in WhatsApp, Instagram, TikTok, Discord, Telegram and most game chats, because they are characters rather than images. Every face here is restricted to characters with broad device support, so none should appear as an empty box.
For a face you can build from parts see the lenny face generator, for the full sorted collection kaomoji, and for the cultural background japanese emoticons.
What is the difference between this and the collection pages?
The collection pages sort by category and show 200 faces each, which is better for browsing a mood. The keyboard searches across all 220 at once and remembers what you used, which is better when you know the feeling and want it in two seconds. Most people use both for different jobs.
Can I save favourites?
Yes, and they persist between visits. Tapping the heart on any face adds it to the Favourites tab, which is stored in your browser rather than on an account, so nothing needs signing up for. Recent faces build up automatically as you use them, which means the ones you actually reach for surface first without you organising anything.
FAQ
How do I search for a kaomoji?
Type a mood word such as happy, sad, love, angry or smug. The grid filters as you type.
Can I use this as a keyboard on my phone?
Add the page to your home screen and it opens like an app, which is the practical equivalent.
Do kaomoji look the same on every device?
Yes. They are built from characters rather than artwork, so they do not change between platforms the way emoji do.
Does the search work offline?
Once the page has loaded, yes. Filtering happens in the browser rather than on a server.
