Bear Text Faces ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ Copy Paste Cute Animal Emoticons
This collection features 20 adorable ursine emoticons created with Unicode characters. The iconic ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ face and its variations have become beloved staples of internet communication—perfect for expressing cuddly emotions, cute reactions, or simply adding warmth to your messages. Copy and paste these kaomoji into Discord, Twitter, texts, or anywhere that needs cozy charm.
This emoticon's brilliance lies in its simplicity. The ʕ and ʔ characters (pharyngeal consonants from phonetic alphabets) create rounded ears. The ᴥ (Latin small letter ue) forms the perfect snout. Together, they create an unmistakably ursine face that reads as friendly, huggable, and endearing. This design emerged from Japanese emoticon culture and spread globally through Reddit and general kawaii appreciation.
These animals carry specific emotional connotations: warmth, cuddles, gentle strength, and cozy comfort. These emoticons channel that energy into text form. They're less intense than heart emoticons, more playful than simple smiles, and universally read as friendly.
