How heart and love kaomoji work

There are two heart characters and they mean slightly different things. ♥ is the solid black heart, heavy and certain - (♥ω♥) is smitten. ♡ is the outlined white heart, lighter and softer - (♡˙︶˙♡) is gently in love. Where the heart sits matters too: as eyes it is infatuation, held out in a hand (*・ω・)ノ♡ it is a gift, trailing after the face it is a mood.

Kisses are a ³ or з mouth, sometimes with a ~ for the sound: (˘ ³˘)♥ blows a kiss, (づ ̄ ³ ̄)づ comes in for a kiss and a hug, and (っ˘з(˘⌣˘ ) is two faces, one kissing the other on the cheek. The reaching arms づ っ turn a kiss into an embrace, which is why the Hugs page overlaps with this one.

The board above opens on the Love & Hearts category. Tap a face to copy it; the Cute and Blush pages have the shyer versions.

What to know about heart text faces

  • ♥ (solid) is a stronger feeling than ♡ (outline) - pick the heart by how sure you are.
  • Hearts as eyes mean infatuation; a heart after the face means affection; a heart in a hand means a gift.
  • ³ and з are puckered lips - the kiss mouth - and a ~ after them is the smack of the kiss.
  • Two faces in one kaomoji, like (っ˘з(˘⌣˘ ), are a couple; read left to right, the first face is doing the kissing.

Heart kaomoji examples

Saying goodnight

Soft

(♡˙︶˙♡)

Kiss

(˘ ³˘)♥

The outlined heart keeps it gentle; the kiss makes it romantic. Both are single lines of plain text, so they work in any chat app.

Reacting to something adorable

Heart eyes

(♥ω♥)

Squeal

(♡ >ω< ♡)

Heart eyes are for the thing itself; the squeezed-eye squeal is for not being able to cope with how cute it is.

Common heart kaomoji mistakes

  • Sending (♥ω♥) to a colleague - heart eyes are infatuation, not appreciation. (◕‿◕)♡ or a plain smile is the safer thank-you.
  • Mixing ♥ and ♡ in one face - (♥ω♡) looks like a typo. Pick one heart and use it on both sides.
  • Pasting a heart face into a field that strips symbols - some forms drop ♡ and leave (˙︶˙), which is a smile with nothing to say.

Heart kaomoji FAQ

What is the difference between ♥ and ♡ in a kaomoji?
♥ is the solid black heart and reads as strong, certain love; ♡ is the outlined white heart and reads softer. (♥ω♥) is smitten, (♡˙︶˙♡) is fond.
Which kaomoji is blowing a kiss?
(˘ ³˘)♥ is the standard one: closed eyes, puckered ³ lips and a heart. ( ̄ε ̄@) is a bigger smooch, and (ノ´ з `)ノ is blowing kisses with both arms.
Is there a kaomoji for a couple or two people in love?
Yes - (っ˘з(˘⌣˘ ) is one face kissing another on the cheek. The reaching arm っ belongs to the first face; the second face is smiling with closed eyes.
Can I put a heart on any kaomoji?
Yes. Adding ♡ after the closing parenthesis works on almost any face - (◕‿◕)♡ is a smile in love, and even the cat (=♡ω♡=) takes hearts for eyes. The Cats page has that one.
