Find a face, tap it

Tap a tile and the face is on your clipboard. The groups go by what shows: eyes turned aside, a flat stare, letters borrowed for a harder stare, a nose in the air, then sighs, dots and a facepalm. The last group adds a word. Search reads the labels: side eye finds 17, pout 12, deadpan 5, eye roll 3, and facepalm finds 2.

The words beside the faces

The glosses are Wiktionary's. やれやれ, yareyare, is a sigh said aloud. イライラ, iraira, is irritation. ちぇっ is a tch of mild displeasure and 舌打ち a click of the tongue. うんざり is fed up, めんどくさい bothersome, はいはい is yeah, sure, and 別に, betsuni, is not really.

Tips
  • The side eye ¬ is Not sign, from the Latin-1 Supplement block. (¬_¬) has the same sign in its fullwidth form, Fullwidth not sign.
  • Everyday characters keeps 69. The other 14 borrow a letter: Kannada, Hangul, Canadian syllabics, or the Georgian letter las that makes the facepalm's hand.
  • Five faces are only 3 code points, ಠ_ಠ among them. Short keeps the 53 of 6 or fewer; search keyboard for the plain-key ones.

Questions and answers

What does -_- mean?

Frustration or annoyance, in Wiktionary's words, which also lists -.- and =_= as synonyms. The hyphens are flat, shut eyes and the low line is a straight mouth. All three are here in brackets, and -_- without them.

What does >_> mean?

A sideways look. Wiktionary gives it as an emoticon representing shiftiness, nervousness or guilt, with <_< and >.> as other forms. Search shifty for the 4 here; side eye finds them and 13 more.

What does ಠ_ಠ mean?

The look of disapproval. Wiktionary's entry says it uses a Kannada letter, U+0CA0, which resembles an eye with an eyebrow. Unicode names it Kannada letter ttha. Five faces here use it; search disapproval.

What does (눈_눈) mean?

A hard stare. 눈 is the Korean noun for eye, so each eye is the word eye. Japanese has a word for a look like this: ジト目, jitome, which Wiktionary glosses as piercing, half-closed eyes, usually indicating exasperation or annoyance.

How this list was compiled: Built by script on 2026-09-19, not typed into the page by hand. The 83 entries are this site's own selection and arrangement: each was put together for this page from the parts an annoyed kaomoji is made of (flat or sideways eyes, a flat or pouting mouth, a puff of breath, a row of dots). Some are forms in common use that nobody owns. The labels, groups and order are our own. Every character of every entry was looked up in UnicodeData.txt, version 18.0.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/UnicodeData.txt), and must be an assigned, visible character. The side eye is Not sign (U+00AC) or Fullwidth not sign (U+FFE2); the eye roll is Circle with upper right quadrant black (U+25D4); the borrowed stares use Kannada letter ttha (U+0CA0), the Hangul syllable nun (U+B208), Ring in equal to (U+2256), Hangul letter yeorinhieuh (U+3186), Hangul letter phieuph (U+314D) and Canadian syllabics ne and ni (U+14C0, U+14C2). None of them has the Emoji property in emoji-data.txt, version 18.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/emoji/emoji-data.txt); every emoji is left out. What three of the faces stand for is from Wiktionary, each entry read 2026-09-19: -_- is an emoticon representing the face of frustration or annoyance (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/-_-); >_> is an emoticon representing shiftiness, nervousness or guilt, with <_<, >.> and <.< as other forms (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Unsupported_titles/%60gt%60%60lowbar%60%60gt%60); the Kannada letter pair is an emoticon representing a look of disapproval, built on a letter that resembles an eye with an eyebrow (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Unsupported_titles/%E0%B2%A0%60lowbar%60%E0%B2%A0).

"Borrows" under an entry names each character from outside the blocks of punctuation, common symbols and Latin, Greek, Cyrillic and Japanese letters, with its script from Scripts.txt (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/Scripts.txt) or, for a Latin or common character, its block from Blocks.txt (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/Blocks.txt).
