How do I copy Flex Kaomoji without breaking it?
Use the copy button so the entire sequence is captured, including the spaces and the brackets or slashes at each edge. Paste it as plain text: anywhere Markdown is active, backslashes, underscores and asterisks can be read as formatting and silently removed, which is what leaves a kaomoji with one arm or a missing eye.
When should I use Flex Kaomoji?
Mock-heroic. It celebrates a small achievement with more effort than the achievement deserved, which is the whole joke. Kaomoji suit chats, captions and community posts; in formal writing a short sentence carries the same feeling without asking the reader to decode a face.
