How angry kaomoji show rage

The anger sits in the brows and the teeth. ╬ before the face - as in (╬ Ò﹏Ó) - is the pulsing vein of manga rage. The Chinese character 益 used as a mouth reads as bared, gritted teeth, so (ಠ益ಠ) is fury and (ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻ is fury with a table in the air. ¬_¬ and ¬、¬ are the sideways glance of annoyance, the mildest end of the scale.

The table flip (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ is the most famous angry kaomoji in the world: a shocked face, an arm, the ︵ of the throw and the upside-down table ┻━┻. Its answer, ┬─┬ ノ( ゜-゜ノ), calmly puts the table back and lives on the Action tab.

The board above opens on the Angry category. Tap a face to copy it; the fists (ง •̀_•́)ง and the double flip are in here too.

What to know about angry text faces

  • ╬ is the anger vein; 益 is gritted teeth. A face with both, (╬ಠ益ಠ), is as angry as kaomoji get.
  • ┻━┻ is a flipped table and ┬─┬ is one standing up - the characters come from Unicode's box-drawing block.
  • ಠ_ಠ is disapproval rather than rage: a flat stare that says you saw what they did.
  • The (ง •̀_•́)ง fists use Thai letter ง as a hand, one of many scripts kaomoji borrow limbs from.

Angry kaomoji examples

Losing a game

Table flip

(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

Put it back

┬─┬ ノ( ゜-゜ノ)

The flip is the outburst; the unflip is the classic follow-up once you have calmed down. Sending both in a row is a joke everyone gets.

Mild irritation

Side-eye

(¬_¬)

Flat stare

ಠ_ಠ

Neither face is shouting. They are for the coworker who replied-all, not for a real fight.

Common angry kaomoji mistakes

  • Using the table flip for real anger - it is a comedy face, and in a genuine argument it reads as not taking things seriously.
  • Breaking the table: ┻━┻ is three separate box-drawing characters, and dropping one leaves a half-flipped ┻━. Copy the whole face.
  • Sending (ง •̀_•́)ง to someone who is upset - the fists say fight, not solidarity.

Angry kaomoji FAQ

What is the angry kaomoji that flips a table?
(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ - a shocked face, a raised arm, the arc of the throw and the flipped table. The reverse, ┬─┬ ノ( ゜-゜ノ), puts the table back.
What does the 益 character mean in (ಠ益ಠ)?
It is a Chinese character borrowed for its shape: between two eyes it looks like a mouth of bared, gritted teeth, which is why it turns a stare into rage.
Which kaomoji is annoyed but not furious?
(¬_¬) and (¬、¬) are the side-eye of irritation, and ಠ_ಠ is flat disapproval. Save the ╬ vein and the table for real fury.
Is there an angry kaomoji with fists?
Yes - (ง •̀_•́)ง is squared up and ready to fight, and ٩(๑`^´๑)۶ is throwing punches. The ง and ٩ ۶ are letters from Thai and Arabic used as arms.
