Three Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics characters that happen to line up into a walking cat. They have no cat meaning in the original script — the internet adopted the shape for bios and statuses.

What is the ⟆ in ₍^. .^₎⟆?

⟆ is a mathematical bracket reused as a curling tail. Attached to the peeking face ₍^. .^₎ it completes a kitten glancing back over its shoulder — remove it and the cat loses its tail.

How are these different from cat kaomoji?

Kaomoji are full expressive faces like (=^･ω･^=) and live in our kaomoji section. These are decorated strings — smaller cats plus sparkles and paw prints — built to fit usernames, bios and one-line captions.

About

These are cat text symbols: tiny cats drawn with borrowed letters and finished with sparkle dust. ᓚᘏᗢ is a cat in mid-stride built from Canadian Aboriginal syllabics; ₍^. .^₎⟆ peeks out with its tail curling behind as ⟆, a bracket from mathematical notation; /ᐠ˕ᐟ\ gives the pointed-ear face; ᨐ, the Buginese letter ya, prints a perfect paw; and 𐔌, borrowed from the old Albanian Elbasan alphabet, curls up like a kitten in a doorway. Every string here comes pre-arranged, so it pastes as one finished piece.

They belong anywhere a small animal would improve the mood: pet-account bios on Instagram, Discord about-me sections and server channel names, Twitch panels, TikTok captions under cat videos, Tumblr headers, or a Notion page that tracks feeding times. A paw trail ᨐ ᨐ ᨐ makes a soft list bullet, and ᓚᘏᗢ walking across a Discord status is a personality in three characters. They also survive most username fields that reject emoji.

ᓚᘏᗢ is the star of the set. Its three characters come from Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics, a script created in the 1840s for Cree and still used across northern Canada — none of them has anything to do with cats. Lined up, though, they draw a long-bodied cat mid-stroll, ears up, tail trailing. The internet noticed around 2022 and it has been padding through bios ever since; mirror it as ᗢᘏᓗ and two cats meet in the middle.

These strings are the trimmed cousins of full cat kaomoji — our kaomoji cat category keeps the classic expressive faces like (=^･ω･^=), while these stay compact enough for name fields and one-line bios. Mixing works the usual way: a paw ᨐ slots into star or heart combos as easily as any sparkle, ⌒ ⌒ reads as clouds or cushions for a sleeping ᗢ ᶻ𝗓, and the bunny ₍ᐢ.ˬ.ᐢ₎ and bear ʕ ˵• ₒ •˵ ʔ from kawaii culture join the cats without any friction.

Tap any string to copy it, then paste — no keyboard app needed on iPhone or Android. The syllabics behind ᓚᘏᗢ and /ᐠ˕ᐟ\ ship with every major system font, so the core cats render almost everywhere. The curled kitten 𐔌 comes from the rarely-installed Elbasan script and may show as a box on older devices; if that happens, swap in ᗢ or a paw ᨐ and the string keeps its shape.
