Annoyed, furious and flipping tables

Angry Kaomoji

Angry kaomoji scale further than any other mood, from a barely-raised eyebrow to a table leaving the room. The scale matters because the loud end is almost always comic. Nobody flips a table sincerely, while the quiet end can genuinely sting.

(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

Quick answer

Which one should you use?

(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ is the table flip and the most recognisable angry kaomoji, though it is comic, never sincere. For real irritation use (¬_¬) for a side-eye or ಠ_ಠ for disapproval. The character that signals genuine rage is 益 or 皿 as a mouth, as in (╬ ಠ益ಠ): a gritted, bared-teeth shape no punctuation mouth can manage.

    Small and cross instead of furious, which tips it into cute.

    Sulking

    A sideways mouth of displeasure.

How they are built

The parts these faces are made of

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.

Anger marks

# # ╬ ҂ メ ‡

The popping vein, borrowed from manga. Placed beside or above the face, it turns a neutral expression cross.

Gritted mouths

益 皿 Д ロ

Kanji and kana that read as bared teeth or an open shout. These carry real anger where punctuation cannot.

Angry brows

` ´ ‵ ′ ▼ ∧

Angled inward above the eyes. Reversing them turns a furious face into a worried one.

Table parts

┻ ━ ┳ ─ ┬

Box-drawing characters. ┻━┻ is an upturned table; ┬─┬ is one standing.

Before you paste

Getting them to arrive intact

01

Paste as plain text

Markdown and rich-text editors treat backslashes, underscores and asterisks as formatting. A face that loses an arm or a cheek was almost certainly parsed rather than pasted.

02

The loud end is comic

Table flips and raised arms read as playing at anger. If you are actually annoyed, (¬_¬) or ಠ_ಠ will land far harder than ヽ(`Д´)ノ.

03

Box drawing needs monospace

┻━┻ only looks like a table when the characters line up. In a proportional font the table bends, which is the most common way a table flip arrives broken.

Questions

Angry Kaomoji FAQ

What is the angry kaomoji?

The table flip, (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻, is the best known, though it is almost always comic. For sincere annoyance, (¬_¬) and ಠ_ಠ are far more common, and (╬ ಠ益ಠ) is the standard face for real rage.

What does ┻━┻ mean?

It is an upturned table, drawn with box-drawing characters, thrown by the figure to its left in (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻. The reply ┬─┬ ノ( ゜-゜ノ) shows the table being calmly set back upright, and the pair is used as a small comic exchange about overreacting.

What does ಠ_ಠ mean?

The look of disapproval. The eyes are ಠ, a Kannada letter chosen entirely for its shape. It expresses judgement, not anger: the reaction to something ill-advised, not something offensive. That is why it works where an angry face would escalate things.

What does 益 mean in a kaomoji?

It is a kanji used purely as a mouth shape: gritted, bared teeth. Along with 皿 it is the clearest signal of genuine rage in a kaomoji, because no punctuation mouth conveys clenched teeth. (╬ ಠ益ಠ) combines it with disapproving eyes and a vein mark.
