Ghosts, bats, vampires, zombies and witches typed out in text, ready for an October caption or a spooky group chat. Tap a face and it is on your clipboard.
Halloween text faces borrow shapes from all over Unicode. The Canadian syllabic ᗣ has a rounded top and a wavy hem, so it reads as a sheet ghost, the same one that chases ᗧ in Pac-Man text art. A bat is a face between two wings made of /|\, and a zombie is a face with one arm stretched forward by ¬. There is no fang character, so vampire faces use 皿, a Japanese character for a dish whose bars look like bared teeth, or the small triangle ▿. Most people post these in the last week of October, up to Halloween night on 31 October. For pictures rather than text, the 🎃 👻 🦇 emoji and themed symbols are on the Halloween symbols page linked below.
Sheet ghosts built from ᗣ, plus faces shouting boo. The Pac-Man line puts the ghosts on the chase.
Bats spread their wings with /|\ or ⎛⎝ ⎠⎞. Vampires show teeth with 皿 or ▿ and often hold the trident ψ.
The ¬ is a stiff outstretched arm and º-° are mismatched eyes. Repeat the face for a horde.
Witches cast with a wand drawn as ━☆, and the spider face gets its legs from /╲/\ on each side. The spider uses Telugu letters for eyes, so a device without that font shows boxes.
Reactions for a horror film, a jump scare or a dark hallway.
Usually ᗣ, U+15E3 from the Unified Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block. Its dome and scalloped bottom edge look like a sheet ghost, which is why Pac-Man text art writes the chase as ᗧ···ᗣ.
Unicode has no fang character. Kaomoji use 皿, whose vertical bars look like a row of teeth, as in (｀皿´)ψ, or a small downward triangle ▿ under the eyes. The 🩸 or 🦇 emoji beside the face makes the vampire reading obvious.
It is a zombie walking with one arm reaching forward. The ¬ is the stiff arm, and º and ° are eyes of different sizes. Typing it two or three times in a row makes a zombie horde.
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.
