Japanese iPhone Kaomoji Tip

Just wanted to share a quick tip on how to use text based kaomoji on the iPhone (not the graphic based enmoji which still doesn’t work). If you type in “kaomoji” in hiragana, like so 「かおもじ」, and then press the “view more options” button you can see a list of face options to choose from.

I can’t confirm this for sure but after upgrading from 2.02 to 2.1 it seems that the list of built-in face options have increased significantly. Give it a shot!

Here’s a link to a great PC based kaomoji repository: kaomoji.com

And for my favorite kaomoji of all time (requires Japanese fonts to be installed):
且_(・_・ )(ノ °0°)ノ~貝

I see this as a guy who receives a beer (face on left), drinks it, then goes bat shit insane and throws it in a drunken rage (face on right). We’ve all been there, right?

    Wow, thanks. I wouldn’t have noticed this function if you hadn’t pointed it out.
