Faces eating noodles and rice, sipping tea or boba, cooking and waiting hungrily for the next meal. Tap a face and paste it under your food photo.
Food kaomoji lean on a few characters that have taken on a food meaning in Japanese text art. ڡ, an Arabic letter, sits in the mouth like a tongue licking the lips, so (っ˘ڡ˘ς) reads as yum. 旦, a kanji meaning dawn, looks like a cup on a saucer and is the standard teacup in kaomoji. ♨ is the hot-springs sign, used for anything steaming hot, and c[_] is a coffee mug with its handle on the left. People post these under meal photos, in group chats planning dinner and when announcing that they are hungry. The food itself as pictures, from 🍜 to 🧋, is on the food and drink emoji page linked below.
The tongue ڡ or a happy chewing mouth: the face for a dish that hit the spot.
Faces with a bowl, a rice ball or something hot. ♨ marks the steam.
旦 is the teacup and c[_] the mug, both text only. Boba needs the 🧋 emoji.
Cake, donuts and ice cream, for the sweet tooth.
For the hour before dinner, or the moment the fridge turns out to be empty.
It is the Arabic letter feh written without its dot, U+06A1. Its curl hangs below the line, so inside a face it looks like a tongue licking the lips, and the face reads as yummy or delicious.
旦 is a kanji meaning dawn or morning, but its shape is a square sitting on a line, like a cup on a saucer. Kaomoji use it as a teacup, so ( ˘▽˘)っ旦 is someone offering you tea.
The 人 is two palms pressed together. In Japan people say itadakimasu with hands together before eating, so the face is a thank-you for the meal and a sign that eating is about to start.
The UltraTextGen kaomoji generator filters the parts by mood, then lets you swap the outline, eyes and mouth and add cheeks or arms, keeping the left and right sides matched. Every part is plain Unicode text, so the face pastes wherever you are typing.
