Text faces flexing their biceps, setting their jaw or puffing out their chest with pride. Tap one and it lands on your clipboard.
Most strong kaomoji are built on one trick: the Canadian Syllabics letters ᕦ and ᕤ, or ᕙ and ᕗ, curl up on each side of the face like an arm bent to show a bicep. The face in the middle sets the mood, so ò_ó with slanted brows looks fierce while ᐛ grins. Determined faces swap the flex for fists raised in a boxing guard, and proud faces tilt the nose up with ￣^￣. People post them after a gym session, before an exam, or to tell a friend they can handle what is coming. Each one is ordinary Unicode text, so it pastes anywhere you can type.
The flex faces people search for most. ᕦ ᕤ and ᕙ ᕗ are the raised arms, and ˇ or ‶ adds a bead of effort.
Fists up and eyebrows down. ง is a Thai letter whose hook reads as a curled fist, and •̀ •́ are eyes with a stern accent mark over them.
￣^￣ is a turned-up nose, the text version of puffing out your chest. Use these after a win, big or small.
Faces to send someone else before their big day. The ✧ sparkles and ♪ notes make them read as encouragement rather than bragging.
They are letters from the Unified Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block, which is used to write Inuktitut and Cree. ᕦ and ᕤ happen to curl like a flexed arm, so kaomoji makers borrowed them. The block is in the standard fonts of current phones and computers.
It is a face holding its fists up in a fighting stance. People use it to say they are ready to take something on, such as a deadline, a workout or a boss fight in a game.
Ganbatte (頑張って) is Japanese for "do your best" or "hang in there". It is often paired with a determined face to cheer someone on before a test or a match.
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.
