Render check
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. The faces use X marks, brackets and a few symbols such as ☠ and †, which most system fonts cover, but your own screen is the real test.
| Platform | Checked | Result |
|---|---|---|
| iPhone | not yet | not tested |

Questions people ask
What is a dead kaomoji?
A text face with X-shaped eyes that stands for being dead, knocked out or laughing so hard you died. It is ordinary text, so it copies and pastes anywhere text is accepted.
What is a ghost kaomoji?
A face with wavy tildes around it, so it looks as if it is floating. The tildes are plain punctuation.
Why do some faces show boxes?
The device has no font for one of the characters; the text itself is intact. Letters and common punctuation are widely covered, while rarer marks such as ☠ depend on the platform.
Are these dead faces free to use?
Yes. They are published under the content licensing page, and you can use them in personal and commercial text.
