Kaomoji
noun
Remember how you learned that 文字 can mean "characters?" Well make a face out of those characters and you've made a kaomoji! ʅ(◔౪◔ ) ʃ
This word consists of the kun'yomi reading for 顔 added to the jukugo word 文字 that you already learned. You've learned these readings before, so reading this word should be nice and easy!
