How to Input Kaomoji on Windows 10
Forget emoji. Windows 10’s latest update, the May 2019 Update, also supports kaomoji like (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻ and (ヘ･_･)ヘ┳━┳. Use a hidden keyboard shortcut to select your favorite kaomoji and input them in any app—no copy-pasting from websites required.
If you’re not familiar with kaomoji, they’re popular in Japan. They’re not like emoji, which are images. Kaomoji are more like traditional text-based emoticons but can you can understand them without tilting your head to the left. For example, 🙂 is an emoji, and ^_^ is a kaomoji.
This feature is part of Windows 10’s emoji picker. To open it, press Windows+. (that’s a period) in any application. Click the 😉 icon at the top of the list to view a library of kaomoji.
If you don’t see the 😉 icon here, you haven’t installed this update on your PC yet. ( ´･･)ﾉ(._.`)
