What Are Kaomoji?

Kaomoji are a style of emoticon that originated in Japan, built entirely from text characters such as punctuation, letters and Unicode symbols. Unlike Western emoticons like :) that you read sideways, kaomoji like (^▽^) are read straight on. They can express a huge range of emotions and actions — from a happy smile to a dramatic table flip.
