How a kaomoji becomes a bunny
The ears are the whole trick. Fullwidth slashes ／ ＼ leaning outward on each side of the parentheses read as two long ears, and the face inside is a rabbit no matter what the eyes do. The nose is a lowercase x with spaces around it, or the Korean letter ㅅ, which has the same shape - ／(•ㅅ•)＼ is the version with a tiny nose and dot eyes.
Inside the ears, every mood works. ／(≧ x ≦)＼ is a happy bunny, ／(=T x T=)＼ a crying one, ／(=` x ´=)＼ a grumpy one and ／(=♡ x ♡=)＼ a bunny in love. The = = whiskers from the cat faces are optional on a rabbit; ／(=∵=)＼ keeps them and adds the three-dot nose-and-mouth.

What to know about bunny text faces
- ／ ＼ outside the parentheses are the ears - they are what make a rabbit, so never drop them.
- x with spaces or the Korean letter ㅅ is the nose; ∵ is a nose with a mouth under it.
- The face inside the ears takes any mood: change the eyes and the bunny is happy, startled, sleepy or in love.
- The slashes are fullwidth (／ ＼), not ASCII (/ \), which is why they stand tall instead of leaning flat.

Round ☉ eyes are a rabbit that heard a noise; no eyes at all is one asleep. The ears never change.
Common bunny kaomoji mistakes
- Using ASCII slashes - /(^ x ^)\ leans flat and the ears disappear into the text. Copy the fullwidth ／ ＼ version.
- Closing the nose up - (^x^) without spaces reads as a face with a tiny mouth, not a rabbit nose.
- Sending the crying bunny ／(=T x T=)＼ as a joke reply to bad news - a cute face on someone else's problem rarely lands.
Bunny kaomoji FAQ
What is the bunny kaomoji with tall ears?
／(^ x ^)＼ - the fullwidth slashes are the ears and the x is the nose. It is the standard rabbit text face, and every other bunny here is a variation on it.
What is the ㅅ in ／(•ㅅ•)＼?
A letter from the Korean alphabet, borrowed because its shape is a small upside-down v - the classic rabbit nose. It means the same as the x in ／(^ x ^)＼.
Is there a bunny kaomoji that is happy or in love?
Yes - ／(≧ x ≦)＼ is a delighted bunny and ／(=♡ x ♡=)＼ has heart eyes. Swap the eyes inside the ears and the rabbit takes any mood.
Why do the bunny ears disappear when I type them?
You are probably typing ASCII slashes / and \, which lean too flat to read as ears. The faces here use fullwidth ／ and ＼ from the Japanese character set - copy them rather than typing.
