Single-character smiley symbols — faces that fit where a full kaomoji won’t. Tap a card to copy it, or save your favorites with the heart (♡). The famous ツ isn’t actually a face at all — it’s a Japanese katakana letter that happens to smile, which is exactly why it became an internet legend.
Append ツ to a username where character limits are tight, soften a short reply with the minimal ◡̈, or use the classic ☺ in places where emoji render inconsistently. One character, instant friendliness.
