Open Capiguara

80 emotionally expressive capybara face emojis. Free. Open. For everyone.

License: CC0 Unicode Proposal

The capybara belongs to the world. Not to any corporation. Open Capiguara > Closed Capybara.


Why?

The capybara is the internet's most beloved animal. 10 billion TikTok views. 4.2 million "capybara emoji" Google searches. But Unicode still has no expressive capybara face emoji. We're fixing that.

Cats have 9 face variants. Dogs have body AND face. Bears have a face emoji. The capybara? Just a silent side-body profile. No emotions. No expressions. Nothing.

This project creates what Unicode hasn't: 80 emotionally expressive capybara face emojis covering the full range of human emotion.


What's Inside?

8 Thematic Sets (80 emojis total)

Set Theme Count Examples
1 Core Emotions 12 Grinning, Crying, Angry, Heart Eyes, Party
2 Food and Life 12 Coffee Mode, Pizza Joy, Diet Mode, Cheers
3 Sport 12 Football Fan, Swimmer, Boxer, Champion
4 Tech 12 Coder, Bug Found, WiFi Down, AI Mode
5 Weather and Nature 8 Hot Spring, Rainy Day, Stargazing
6 Music and Culture 8 DJ, Singer, Artist, Bookworm
