Two faces on a video call, hearts and laptops between them. On the left, a face with πΈ cherry blossom emoji, κ a closed satisfied eye, Π a backwards-E kissing mouth, β€ a red heart. Between them sit π» β‘ π» β two laptops with a heart in the middle, the kaomoji shorthand for a video call full of love. On the right, a face with β and β wide attentive eyes, βΏ a soft smile, and β° a star accessory.
This is the long-distance affection kaomoji. The two laptops between the faces are unambiguously the visual: ‘we are talking through screens, but the love is real.’ It maps perfectly to the everyday experience of long-distance friends, partners, and family members who connect mostly via video.
Use it for video-call captions, posts about long-distance friends/partners, ‘thank you for calling me’ replies. It works on TikTok and Instagram for content about staying in touch across distance. On Discord, it suits voice/video chat reactions. Because the laptops are emoji-rendered, it works best on platforms with good emoji support.
In Japanese the matching word is γγγͺγ€γγ (bideo tsuuwa β video call). Pair this kaomoji with phrases like γγγγΏγγ (‘kao wo mitai’ β ‘I want to see your face’), γγ€γγγγγ¨γ (‘itsumo arigatou’ β ‘thanks always’), or γγγγγγ―γͺγγ§γγ¦γγγγ (‘happy we got to talk today’).
