Text Faces with Only Letters and Numbers
Some places block every symbol. These simple faces use letters, numbers and the few marks that usernames allow.
138 faces. Tap a card to copy, ♡ to save. Faces marked “may not show on older devices” use rarer symbols.
When you need them
- Usernames. Most apps only accept letters, numbers and one or two marks in the @name.
- Game chats that filter special characters.
- Forms, bank transfer notes and old text messages that turn symbols into question marks.
- School or work computers where you cannot copy and paste.
Faces made of letters
uwu: happy, soft, content.owo: curious, “what’s this?”.qwqandTwT: teary, sad but cute.XD: laughing hard, eyes squeezed.o_o: blank stare.u_u: sleepy or quietly sad.x_x: exhausted or knocked out.t_t: crying.
The letter faces have no brackets, so they read like tiny words. Add brackets when they are allowed and they look more like faces, like (T_T) or (OwO).
What each app allows in a username
- Discord: lowercase letters, numbers, underscores and periods. So
uwu,o_oando.owork, but capital letters do not. - Instagram: letters, numbers, periods and underscores.
- TikTok: letters, numbers, underscores and periods, but not a period at the end.
- X: letters, numbers and underscores only, so
o_ofits buto.odoes not.
Display names and bios are much more open. If you want a full kaomoji, put it there and keep your @name simple.

Tips
Pair a letter face with your name, like a nickname followed by an underscore and uwu. Do not stack many faces; a username should still be easy to read and to tag. If a face looks like a rude word in another language, choose another one.
Capital letters
Capitals change the mood: OwO looks louder than owo, and XD reads best in capitals. Some usernames turn everything lowercase, so pick a face that still works that way.
