카오모지

Cultural/Communication

옆으로 읽지 않고 정면으로 읽는 일본식 텍스트 이모티콘 (예: (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻).

Kaomoji (顔文字, "face characters") originated in Japanese internet culture and use a wider range of Unicode characters than Western emoticons. They are read face-on (not tilted sideways) and can express complex emotions and actions.

Common examples:
- (^_^) — happy
- (T_T) — crying
- (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ — table flip (anger)
- ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ — shrug
- (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧ — excited/sparkle

Kaomoji remain popular alongside emoji, especially in gaming and online communities, because they can convey nuances that standard emoji cannot.
