A pursed-mouth kiss face with a heart. The eyes ´ and ` are angled-down content closed eyes. The mouth ε is a Greek lowercase epsilon, used in kaomoji as a puckered kiss-mouth — the curve of the ε resembles lips drawn together for a smooch. The face is closed with a space and the right paren (giving slightly old-school spacing). A ♡ floats to the right.
The ε mouth is one of the most efficient ways to depict a kiss in kaomoji. Unlike the digit-3 mouth (which works the same way), the ε feels softer and more graceful. Combined with the closed-content eyes, the whole face has a satisfied “about-to-kiss-you” quality.
Use it for romantic moments that call for a single restrained gesture: goodnight messages, anniversary captions, partner-tagged posts. On Discord and Twitter/X it works in private contexts. On Instagram it pairs well with couple photos or with quotes about love. The single heart and minimal decoration make it feel sincere rather than performative.
In Japanese the kiss sound is ちゅっ (chu — small kiss) or ちゅーー (chuu — longer kiss). Pair this kaomoji with phrases like おやすみ ちゅっ (“goodnight kiss”), だいすきだよ (‘daisuki da yo’ — “I love you”), or just しあわせ (‘shiawase’ — happy) at the end of a tender message.
