Long ears
⌒ 〜
The defining feature. ⌒ is a fixed arch and 〜 is a wave, so the second gives you a longer, more mobile ear.
Long ears, round face
These are fan approximations, not anything official: Cinnamoroll is a Sanrio character, and text cannot draw a specific character so much as evoke one. What it can do is capture the defining feature — very long ears either side of a small round face — and that is what every face here is built on.
⌒(ᵔ ᴗ ᵔ)⌒
Quick answer
⌒(ᵔ ᴗ ᵔ)⌒ is the closest plain-text approximation. The ⌒ characters either side are the long floppy ears that define the look, and the wide spacing inside the brackets keeps the face round and small. Swapping ⌒ for 〜 makes the ears longer and softer; ʕ ʔ makes them shorter and rounder.
Copy and paste
Every face is plain text. Tap one to copy it, then paste it wherever you are typing — it travels as ordinary characters, not as an image.
⌒(ᵔ ᴗ ᵔ)⌒
The closest approximation — arched ears either side of a small closed-eye face.
〜(ᐢ ᵕ ᐢ)〜
The 〜 ears are longer and wavier, as if mid-flight.
ʕ ᵔ ᴗ ᵔ ʔ
Shorter, rounder ears; the chubbiest of the set.
(ᐢ ˘ ᴗ ˘ ᐢ)
Ears inside the brackets instead of outside, which tightens the whole face.
⌒(๑ᵕ ᴗ ᵕ๑)⌒
Thai characters as pink cheeks between the long ears.
〜(◕ ᴗ ◕)〜
Large round eyes, which is where the blue would go.
⌒( ˘ ω ˘ )⌒
A soft ω muzzle under closed eyes.
ʕ ◕ ᴗ ◕ ʔ
The most alert face here; round ears and open eyes.
⌒(*ᵔ ᴗ ᵔ*)⌒
Asterisks as blush inside the ears.
〜( ˘ ᵕ ˘ )〜
Everything closed and soft; the calmest of the set.
⌒(ᐢ ᵕ ᐢ)⌒
Long ears outside, small ears inside. Overdone on purpose.
ʕ *ᵔ ᴥ ᵔ* ʔ
ᴥ gives it an actual muzzle, not just a mouth.
⌒(◔ ᴗ ◔)⌒
Part-filled eyes give it a sidelong look.
〜(๑˃ ᴗ ˂๑)〜
Squeezed-shut eyes with cheeks, ears streaming back.
⌒( ᵕ ᴗ ᵕ )⌒
The simplest happy version.
ʕ ˘ ᴗ ˘ ʔ
The shortest face here; fits in a display name.
⌒(≧ ᴗ ≦)⌒
Eyes closed by delight, not sleep.
〜(ᵔ ᴥ ᵔ)〜
Combines the longest ears with a proper muzzle.
⌒(◕ ᴥ ◕)⌒
Wide eyes above a snout; watching something.
ʕ ᐢ ᵕ ᐢ ʔ
Round outer ears with upright inner ones.
How they are built
Kaomoji are assembled rather than drawn. Once you can see the components, you can adjust any face on this page instead of hunting for a different one.
⌒ 〜
The defining feature. ⌒ is a fixed arch and 〜 is a wave, so the second gives you a longer, more mobile ear.
ʕ ʔ ᐢ
Shorter alternatives. ʕ ʔ wrap the whole face and make it chubby; ᐢ stands upright and makes it alert.
ᵔ ᵕ ˘ ◕ ◔ ᴗ
Kept minimal and widely spaced. The face has to stay small for the ears to look long by comparison.
๑ * ◍
Optional blush just inside the ears. It is the one addition that does not make the face look crowded.
Before you paste
Markdown and rich-text editors treat backslashes, underscores and asterisks as formatting. The blushing versions use asterisks, so they are the ones most likely to arrive altered.
These only work when the features are widely spaced. Tighten them up and the ears stop reading as long, which is the whole effect — the face is small so the ears look big.
Text cannot draw a specific character. What it can do is carry the silhouette, so treat them as being in the style of the character, not pictures of it.

⌒(ᵔ ᴗ ᵔ)⌒ is the closest plain-text version. Cinnamoroll is a Sanrio character, so no official kaomoji exists; what circulates are fan approximations built around the long floppy ears, which are the one feature text can actually reproduce.
Put ⌒ or 〜 either side of the face, outside the brackets. ⌒ is a fixed arch, so the ear hangs; 〜 is a wave, so it moves. Keeping the face itself small and widely spaced is what makes them look long.
No. They are fan-made text faces in the style of the character, not artwork from or endorsed by Sanrio. Plain text can suggest a silhouette — long ears, a small round face — but it cannot reproduce a specific design, so every version you find differs.
The mouth and the ear shape. Bunny faces use the ㅅ muzzle with upright ᐢ ears; these use a plain ᴗ or ᴥ mouth with long ⌒ or 〜 ears hanging outward. Upright ears read as a rabbit, hanging ears as a puppy.
