Seals and sea lions typed in text: flipper faces, belly-flop seals and long sliding pups. Tap any seal to copy it.
A seal kaomoji has two parts that tell it apart from a dog or bear: flippers and a round muzzle with no ears. In ᶘ ᵒᴥᵒᶅ the modifier letters ᶘ and ᶅ curl down on each side like front flippers, and ᴥ is the whiskered snout. The lying-down seals are drawn sideways: in (:3 っ)っ the :3 is the face, っ is a flipper reaching forward and a trailing 3 or ∋ is the tail fin. Longer seals stretch the body with underscores until the tail ∠ flicks up at the end. Most faces here use well-supported characters; ௰ is Tamil and may show as a box on older systems. The 🦭 seal emoji is on the animal emoji page.
The flippers frame the face; change the eyes for the mood.
Sideways seals flopped on the ice. っ is the flipper and 3 or ∋ is the tail.
The body stretches out behind the head. Add underscores to make the seal longer.
Seals have no ears. A bear uses ʕ ʔ for round ears and a dog often uses ᐡ, while a seal uses ᶘ and ᶅ as flippers on each side, as in ᶘ ᵒᴥᵒᶅ.
It is a seal lying on its stomach, drawn sideways. :3 is the face, the brackets are the body and っ is a flipper. People use it for feeling lazy or flopped out.
Text faces rarely separate the two. ᶘ ᵒᴥᵒᶅ is often used for a sea lion because the upright flippers suggest one balancing or clapping, and adding ♪ makes it bark along.
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.
