The text cake
The birthday cake in kaomoji is ┌iii┐. The box lines are the cake and the iii are candles standing on top. A face holding it out, like (o´∀`o)ﾉ┌iii┐, is bringing you the cake. Some faces cast a birthday spell instead, ending with HBD, short for happy birthday: (｡･ω･｡)つ━☆・*HBD.
Writing the message
A birthday face works best with a short, personal line. Try this order:
- The greeting with the name: “Happy birthday, Mia!”
- One real wish: “Hope this year is full of good books and naps.”
- The face at the end: a cake, a cheer or a hug.
In a group chat, if everyone sends a different birthday face, the chat turns into a little party.
Late or far away
Missed the day? Combine a sorry face with a cake: say sorry first, then send the cake. If the friend lives far away, a cake plus a hug face says “I wish I was there”. A cat holding a cake, (=´∇｀=)ﾉ┌iii┐, is fun for friends who love cats.
Birthday faces use common characters, so they look right on nearly every phone.
