(。`・д・)=o Kaomoji ┌(; ・_・)┘ on your MacOS

Hi all  (;゜ д ゜)

I've been using Japanese text art (Kaomoji) for over 10 years on my Mac and I thought I should share this. It's cool and it's cute.

No extra app needed.

All you need to do is open System Preferences > Keyboard

Add Japanese Input Source and select only hiragana.

Alt Text

Go to Text Press + to add new replacement on the left, I usually use を wo then on the right (。`・д・)=o

Alt Text

Now, in any application you can just type wo then spacebar and a popup will appear with list of replacements.  Hit enter to select the Kaomoji you want.

List of cool Kaomoji (670)

TXT Icon

Lazy to add one by one? drag and drop this plist to your replacement box to get everything I have now.

PLIST Icon

If you are using iphone + icloud, this will sync to iOS as well. So you can just type を wo with japanese keyboard on iphone and the same list will popup.

Feel free to modify it to suit your need. You may not need Japanese Input Source but I'm not sure if it will ruin your typing experience or not.

Please share cool Kaomoji ч(゚ д ゚ ч)クレッ!
