Tips

If you want to let others online know that you're angry or upset about something, there are a wide variety of angry emoticons and emoji to choose from. This How.com.vn guide teaches you how to use emoji and emoticons to express your anger on your computer, phone, or tablet.

Expressing Anger Online with Emoticons

You can use emojis or old-school emoticons to express your anger in a more visual way online. By adding angle brackets to any frowning text-based emoticon, you can make it look angry (i.e.,>:( or D:<). Otherwise, many emoji images look mad, and you can use those to express anger.

Open the app you want to use. For example, if you want to send an angry face to someone in a tweet, open Twitter and create a new tweet. To post an angry face on Facebook, open the Facebook app.

Tap the smiley face next to the spacebar. This opens the emoji keyboard.

- If you don't see the smiley face and you have SwiftKey, tap and hold the Enter key to open the emoji keyboard.^{[1]XResearch source}
If you're using Gboard, you can type "angry" into the "Search emoji" to display all angry faces in the emoji list. Otherwise, you can scroll through the options and find an emoji angry enough to represent your mood.

Create horizontal angry faces. If you don't want to (or can't) use emojis, you can get your anger across by typing angry faces with symbols on your keyboard. These horizontal faces are considered "Western" faces and are traditionally used in texts and chat rooms. Below are some of the most common Western angry faces, and many chat programs will automatically convert these to an image:
- >:(
- >:@
- X(
- >8(
- :-||
2
Create vertical angry faces. These are considered "Eastern" faces, gaining popularity in Japan and Korea. There is a much larger variety in these faces, owing to the use of many different special characters. Not everyone can see all of the characters in these faces, especially if they are using an older system. Many of these are also referred to as "Kirby" faces, as they resemble Nintendo's Kirby character.^{[3]XResearch source}
- >_<
- >_<*
- (>_<)
- (,,#ﾟДﾟ)
- ヽ(ｏ`皿′ｏ)ﾉ
- o(>< )o
- (ノಠ益ಠ)ノ
- ლ(ಠ益ಠლ

- 凸(｀0´)凸

- s(・｀ヘ´・;)ゞ
- {{|└(>o< )┘|}}
- (҂⌣̀_⌣́)
- ＼(｀0´)／
- (•̀o•́)ง

Create a table-flipping emoticon. If you're outraged, you can show it using an emoticon flipping a table in anger. These are typically used in reaction to bad or unexpected news.^{[4]XResearch source}
