Two faces facing each other in a kiss-and-hug. On the left, the ɔ is acting as a wraparound arm pulling the partner in, ˆ shows a closed eye looking down, and the digit 3 (used here as a puckered mouth) makes the kiss explicit. On the right, the second face has ˆ and ˆ closed eyes and a soft ⌣ smile, while the c serves as another arm completing the hug. A red ❤ floats above the whole tableau.
This is one of the most narrative kaomoji in everyday use: it depicts two characters, not just one face, and the action between them is clearly readable. The kiss is on the left (the 3 mouth), the receiving smile is on the right, and the arms cross the boundary between the two faces.
It is a strong choice for sending to a partner or close friend on a meaningful occasion — an anniversary, a long goodbye, a ‘thinking of you’ message. It is more committed than a one-face kiss kaomoji, so it can feel too intense for casual contexts. On Discord and Twitter/X it suits private DMs and tagged-friend messages.
The Japanese equivalents are チュッ (chu — kiss) and ぎゅっ (gyutto — squeeze, hug) used together. Pair it with words like ずっといっしょ (‘zutto issho’ — ‘always together’) or おやすみ、だいすき (‘oyasumi, daisuki’ — ‘goodnight, I love you’).
