Flower Girl Kaomoji (◕‿◕✿): The Cutest Japanese Emoticon

The Flower Girl Kaomoji (◕‿◕✿) is widely considered the cutest and most wholesome text face on the internet. Unlike the sarcastic Shrug or the angry Table Flip, this emoticon represents pure happiness, positivity, and a soft “aesthetic.”

It is a staple of the “Kawaii” (cute) culture online, frequently used on Tumblr, TikTok captions, and wholesome Discord servers to spread good vibes. You can find this and hundreds of other adorable faces in the “Cute” category of our Kaomoji Picker.

Quick Kaomoji Facts

What does (◕‿◕✿) mean?

The Flower Girl conveys a specific type of happiness that isn’t just “glad”—it’s soft and innocent.

1. Wholesomeness: It is often used when complimenting someone or reacting to something adorable (like a cat video).
2. “Feeling Pretty”: The flower accessory implies dressing up or feeling good about oneself.
3. Passive-Aggressive Kindness: Interestingly, it is sometimes used to deliver bad news or an insult in a sickly-sweet way (e.g., “Please stop talking (◕‿◕✿)”).

How to Type the Flower Girl?

This face is impossible to type on a standard keyboard without memorizing complex Alt codes for the eyes and the flower.

Option 1: The Instant Copy

Don’t waste time looking up codes. Use the Copy Button on this page (or the sidebar) to grab it instantly.

Option 2: Symbol Breakdown

If you are determined to build it yourself, here are the components:

• The Eyes: ◕ (Circle with all black but one white quadrant) — often found in “Geometric Shapes” Unicode blocks.
• The Mouth: ‿ (Undertie) — gives it that distinct “smile” look.
• The Flower: ✿ (Black Floret) — The signature accessory.

Because these characters are scattered across different Unicode blocks, setting up a Text Replacement shortcut (like typing &flower) is highly recommended if you use it often.

The Rise of “Aesthetic” Kaomojis

While classic Kaomojis like the Shrug originated in forums, the Flower Girl gained massive popularity during the rise of “Aesthetic” and “Vaporwave” culture on Tumblr and Instagram.

It represents a shift from the “ASCII art” of the 90s (which used standard keys) to modern “Unicode art,” which utilizes thousands of special symbols from different languages to create cleaner, rounder, and cuter faces.
