Nod Kaomoji

Text faces nodding yes, agreeing, saying got it, or shaking their head no. Tap one to copy it.

A text face cannot move, so a nod kaomoji shows the movement in pieces. The most common trick is to send the same face twice with the eyes in a different place, as in (・ω・ )( ・ω・), which looks like a head bobbing. Japanese text uses うんうん (un un) as the sound of nodding, and it often sits next to the face. Faces with closed eyes like (ᵕ ᴗ ᵕ) read as a single slow nod. For a no, the eyes slide left and right instead. People use nod faces to agree in chat without typing a full reply, and to show they have understood something.

Frequently Asked Questions

Nod Kaomoji, Answered

How do you show a nod with kaomoji?

Send the same face twice with the eyes moved, such as (・ω・ )( ・ω・). The shift reads as the head going down and up. Adding うんうん or ウンウン, the Japanese sound of nodding, makes it clearer.

What does うんうん mean?

うんうん (un un) is how Japanese writes the sound of someone nodding while listening. It means "yeah, yeah" or "uh-huh" and is a friendly way to agree.

How do I say no with a kaomoji?

Use a head shake, which moves the eyes the other way, for example ( ・_・)(・_・ ). Faces with a hand waved in front, like ( ̄ω ̄;)ノ, are a softer no.
