What do kaomoji wings look like?

Most often they are a pair of symbols on the sides: ꒰ა ໒꒱ or ε з. Between them goes a star, sparkle, flower, or face, for example ꒰ა (´∀｀) ໒꒱. The result is a little angel with winglets looking straight at the reader.

How do I copy winglets made of symbols?

Click a row in the table, and it will be copied to your clipboard. Then paste it into a nickname, bio, or post. If you prefer to assemble it yourself, copy just the pair ꒰ა ໒꒱ and put any symbol inside.

Which kaomoji works for an angel?

For an angel, a wing with a face like ꒰ა (´∀｀) ໒꒱ works, or the simple Western O:-), where the letter O draws a halo above the face. A little devil is shown with a trident: (｀∀´)Ψ.

Why do squares appear instead of wings?

The symbols ა, ໒, and ꒰ come from rare writing systems, and not every font has them. On older phones, an empty square may appear instead. The winglets ε and з are more reliable: Greek and Cyrillic fonts are everywhere.

Are these Japanese symbols?

No. The symbol ა is a Georgian letter, ໒ is a Lao digit, and ε is a Greek letter. Only the idea of a face made of symbols, 顔文字, is Japanese, along with the faces in brackets themselves, assembled from katakana and punctuation marks.

Kaomoji Wings: Winglets and Angels Made of Symbols

Kaomoji wings are made from a pair of bracket-like "winglets" on either side of a symbol or face: ꒰ა ໒꒱, ε ✧ з, ꒰ა (´∀｀) ໒꒱. This decoration goes in nicknames, bios, and posts to get a little angel or something airy. Below are tables for copying: wings without a face, angels and flight, plus a breakdown of the symbols the wings are made from.

Wings in kaomoji are the most popular decorative technique after sparkles. They are not Japanese in origin, but they pair perfectly with Japanese faces. Below are wings with different ornaments inside, little angels with faces, and a note on where the symbols ა, ໒, and ε came from and why they turn into squares on some phones.

What These Symbols Are: Where ა, ໒, and ε Come From

Wings from Other Writing Systems

The symbols ꒰ა ໒꒱ are not Japanese. ა is a letter of the Georgian alphabet, ໒ is a Lao digit, ε is the Greek letter epsilon, and з is the Cyrillic letter ze. They are chosen for their shape: curved symbols on the sides read as wings, and the pair "ε … з" looks mirrored.

Why Wings Sometimes Turn into Squares

Rare writing systems are not drawn by all fonts. If a device lacks the needed symbols, empty squares appear instead of ꒰ა ໒꒱. Then ε and з come to the rescue: they belong to the Greek and Cyrillic sets, which are present on almost every phone.
