Thank You Kaomoji

Ways to show thanks

• Grateful hands: (ㅅ´ ˘ `)♡ holds its hands together with a soft smile and a heart.
• A polite bow: (*_ _)人 lowers its head, respectful and calm.
• A flower: (*^▽^*)つ❀ hands you a blossom as a gift.
• A sparkly bow: for very big thanks, like when someone saved your day.

Who are you thanking?

Match the face to the person. For a teacher, a boss or someone you just met, a simple bow is polite and safe. For a close friend, add hearts or flowers. For a group that helped you, a cheerful face that waves to everyone works well. A thank-you face also softens a reply that would otherwise feel short, like “thanks!” on its own.

Thanks or sorry?

Bowing faces can mean either, because in Japan people bow for both. Write “thank you” before the face and nobody will be confused. Many people also say thank you together with a small sorry, like “sorry for the trouble, thank you so much”, and one deep bow covers both.
