Cute symbols
Hearts, sparkles, flowers, bows, clouds, kawaii faces and dividers for an aesthetic bio. Tap one to copy it; each also joins the line at the top, to build a row and copy it at once.
Text, not pictures: each device draws a symbol in its own font, and screen readers name them one by one.

About symbols
01
Borrowed from living scripts
Many cute symbols are letters, digits and marks of real writing systems, picked for their shapes: ꧁ and ꧂ are Javanese, ༺ and ༻ Tibetan, ୨୧ two Oriya digits, ღ a Georgian letter, ฅ a Thai one. They paste as text like any other, but a screen reader reads them by those names, and an older device without the script’s font shows a box.
02
Kawaii faces
Kaomoji, Japanese for face characters, build upright faces from brackets, letters and symbols: ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ is a bear, ฅ^•ﻌ•^ฅ a cat with its paws up. Some take an Arabic or a Thai letter for a mouth or a paw, so in a few apps they can shift a little.
03
Dividers and frames
Dividers are rows of symbols to set between the lines of a bio; frames go round a name: copy one, paste it, and type your name in the middle. Tap several to build your own on the line at the top.
04
Read aloud
Screen readers name most symbols, black star, rightwards arrow, so a row of them is read out one by one. Keep them for decoration, and never make a symbol the only way something is said. A kaomoji is read as a string of brackets and foreign letters, so keep your name and your words in plain letters beside it.
Cute symbols, answered
- How do I make an aesthetic bio?
- Pick a divider or a frame and a few symbols, tap each to build a line at the top, copy it, and paste it into your bio. Keep your name and the words that matter in plain letters, so people can find and read them.
- What are kaomoji?
- Faces made of text characters, from the Japanese for face characters: ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ, (◕‿◕), ₍ᐢ. .ᐢ₎. Unlike :-) they stand upright, and they paste as text anywhere.
- Why does ꧁ show as a box?
- Some cute symbols are letters of scripts such as Javanese or Tibetan, and a device without a font for that script shows a box. Today’s phones mostly have them; an older computer may not.
- Are these emoji?
- No, they are text symbols, which is why they take the colour of the text around them. A few, ❤ and ☁ among them, are also emoji: this page copies those with an invisible character that asks for the text symbol, and most apps honour it.
