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. Faces that use emoji (fist, flexed arm, swords, shield, bow) depend on the platform’s emoji font, while the rest use common symbol blocks. Your own screen is the real test.

Questions people ask

What is a fighting kaomoji?

A text face that shows a fight-ready or determined mood: fists up, a flexed arm, gritted teeth or a salute. It is ordinary text, so it copies and pastes anywhere text is accepted.

Which kaomoji looks determined or strong?

Faces with narrowed eyes and raised fists, such as the ones in the first group, read as determined; the flex group uses arms drawn at the sides to read as strong.

Why do some faces show boxes?

The device has no font for one of the characters; the text itself is intact. Emoji and rarer marks such as the arm shapes depend on the platform font.

Can I use these 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.
