Heavy blossoms
✿ ❃ ❀
Solid, round and dominant. Best worn as a single hair ornament, where the weight looks like a choice.
Faces wearing ✿ and ❀
Flower kaomoji place a blossom character where a hair ornament would sit, use two as eyes, or frame the whole face with them. The choice of blossom matters more than people expect: ✿ is heavy and round, ❁ is flat and geometric, and they set noticeably different tones.
(✿◠‿◠)
Quick answer
(✿◠‿◠) and (❁´◡`❁) are the two most copied flower kaomoji. One blossom inside the closing bracket is a flower worn in the hair; two either side frame the face like a garland. Using blossoms as eyes, as in (❀ᴗ❀), turns the face dreamy instead of merely decorated, because it loses its gaze.
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.
(✿◠‿◠)
The most widely copied. Blossom on the left, curved smile.
(❁´◡`❁)
Two flat blossoms either side — extremely common in bios.
(◕ᴗ◕✿)
The blossom sits inside the closing bracket, like an ornament.
(❀◕ ‿ ◕❀)
Wide spacing plus two blossoms — the most decorative here.
(❀ᴗ❀)
With no eyes left the face loses its gaze, and turns dreamy.

Closed eyes beside a heavy blossom.

Hearts for eyes with a blossom aside.
(◍•ᴗ•◍)✿
The blossom decorates the message, not the face.
(✿≧◡≦)
Eyes shut with a blossom worn on the left.
(✿ ˘ ᵕ ˘ )

✾ is lighter and more open than ✿.
(❁ ˘ ω ˘ )
A soft ω mouth under closed eyes.
(✿*'ω'*)
Straight quotes make it look caught out.
(❀ˊᵕˋ)
Angled accents give it a slight tilt.

Ears and a snout wearing a blossom.
(⚘ᴗ⚘)
⚘ is a whole stemmed flower, not just the blossom head.

✽ is spikier than ✿, closer to a daisy than a rose.

❃ is the fullest of the blossom characters.
✿(◕‿◕)✿
Framing the whole face instead of sitting inside it.
(✿ ・ω・)ノ
A raised paw and a blossom worn on the left.
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.
✿ ❃ ❀
Solid, round and dominant. Best worn as a single hair ornament, where the weight looks like a choice.
✾ ✽ ❁
More open and geometric. Better in pairs, because they do not overwhelm the face.
⚘ ⚜
These come with a stem, so the flower has been picked, not worn.
(✿ x x) / (x x✿) / ✿(x x)✿
Inside on the left is a hair ornament; inside on the right is the same on the other side; outside both is a frame.
Before you paste
Markdown and rich-text editors treat backslashes, underscores and asterisks as formatting. A face that loses a blossom was parsed rather than pasted.
✿ and ❀ are Dingbats characters, so they stay the colour of the surrounding text. That is usually the reason to prefer them over 🌸, which every platform draws differently.
A single blossom is an ornament; a symmetrical pair is a frame. Three or more stops looking like a face wearing flowers and starts looking like a border.

Some of these have their own page covering where the face came from and how its meaning has shifted.
Questions
(✿◠‿◠) is the most copied, with (❁´◡`❁) close behind. Both place a blossom character beside a smiling face — one as a single hair ornament, the other as a symmetrical pair framing it.
✿ ❀ ❁ ✾ ✽ and ❃ are all Dingbats characters and all render as plain text. ✿ and ❃ are the heaviest and work best alone; ❁ and ✾ are flatter and work better in pairs. ⚘ includes a stem, so it looks picked rather than worn.
No. ✿ is a text symbol that takes the colour of the surrounding text and looks identical everywhere. 🌸 is an emoji with its own artwork, drawn differently by Apple, Google and Samsung. Kaomoji use the text versions so the whole face stays visually consistent.
Inside the bracket beside an eye gives you a flower worn in the hair. Outside both brackets gives you a frame or a garland. Replacing the eyes entirely, as in (❀ᴗ❀), removes the gaze and turns the face dreamy instead of simply decorated.
