Using Christmas Kaomoji on Phones and Apps
Emoji vs. text: 🎄, 🎅 and 🎁 are emoji, so they appear as colored pictures that look slightly different on each phone. ☃, ❄ and ✧ are text symbols and stay closer to the same look everywhere, though some apps may also show ❄ as an emoji.
WhatsApp and Discord: sparkle faces that contain asterisks can turn bold or italic when a message has a pair of them. If that happens, remove one asterisk or send the face separately. See our WhatsApp and Discord guides.
X (Twitter): emoji and Japanese characters count as two characters each, so decorated faces use more of the limit.
How Christmas Kaomoji Are Built
- Festive emoji: 🎄, 🎅, 🎁 and ⛄ set the theme next to an ordinary happy face.
- Text symbols: ☃ is a Unicode snowman, ❄ is a snowflake and ✧, ☆ and ゜ add sparkle.
- Arms: ﾉ, っ and づ hold gifts, wave or give hugs.
- Cozy extras: ☕ and 旦 (a Japanese character that looks like a cup) suggest a warm drink.
To make your own, take any happy face and add a holiday symbol: (◕‿◕)☃, ٩(◕‿◕)۶🎄 or (っ◕‿◕)っ🎁.
