We have not run the render check on iPhone, Android, Windows or Discord yet, so we do not claim any result; the table above is left as “not tested” rather than filled in. Rules and block characters come from the Box Drawing, Block Elements and Geometric Shapes blocks, which most system fonts cover, but your own screen is the real test.

Questions people ask

What is a banner kaomoji?

A kaomoji placed between lines, sparkles or frames so it reads as a heading or divider. The face is ordinary text, so it copies and pastes anywhere text is accepted.

Why do some banners show boxes?

The device has no font for one of the characters; the text itself is intact. Box Drawing and Block Elements characters are the most widely covered, emoji depend on the platform.

Can I use a banner in a username?

Sometimes, but usernames are often limited to a restricted character set that changes without notice. Message and bio fields accept arbitrary text; test in the field itself.

Are these free to use?

Yes. Faces are free to use under the licence on our content licensing page.
