Every teeth kaomoji here shows its teeth, and none of them is angry. The first is the plain grin, (＾皿＾). After the grins come fangs, gritted teeth, biting and chattering. Tap a face and it is copied.

What the teeth are made of
The mouth in (＾皿＾) is 皿, a Han character that the Unihan database defines as a shallow container. Its upright strokes happen to look like a row of teeth. 益, defined as profit or benefit, gives a taller set. A fang is one small triangle, ▾, or the modifier letter ˬ.
Grin, grit or chatter
The groups sort the faces by why the teeth show. Gritted, stiff or awkward has the effort face (>皿<) and the camera smile (￣皿￣). Chattering uses ʭ, Latin letter bidental percussive. Wikipedia's article on bidental consonants describes that sound as teeth striking against each other.
Everyday characters keeps the 66 faces with nothing borrowed from Yi, Hangul or Canadian syllabics.
(^vv^) is the only face here typed on a plain keyboard. It has two fangs.
Teeth bared in anger, with slanted eyes or a vein mark, are on angry kaomoji.
Questions and answers
What does (＾皿＾) mean?
A wide grin with the teeth together. The eyes are fullwidth carets, which read as happy, so the face is pleased or cheeky. With slanted eyes, (｀皿´), the same mouth is gritted in anger. That one is on the angry page.
What is the 皿 character in a teeth kaomoji?
皿 is a Han character, U+76BF. The Unihan database defines it as a shallow container, which is a dish. A kaomoji borrows it for its shape: the upright strokes inside the box look like teeth.
How do you type a teeth kaomoji on a keyboard?
Only one here needs nothing else: (^vv^), two letters v for fangs. Every other face uses a character a keyboard lacks, such as 皿 or ▾, so tap the face to copy it.
Why does a face show an empty box?
A character in it has no font on your device. The label under each face names what it borrows: ᗜ from Canadian Aboriginal syllabics, ꇴ from Yi, ㅂ from Hangul. The Everyday characters chip hides all 28 that borrow.

How this list was compiled: The entries are this site's own selection and arrangement: each was put together for this page from the parts a kaomoji is made of (brackets, eyes and a mouth that shows teeth). Some are forms in common use that nobody owns. The labels, groups and order are this site's own. No face here is on another kaomoji page of this site: the faces that grit their teeth in anger, with slanted eyes or a vein mark, stay on the angry page. The two Han characters most used for teeth were looked up in the Unihan database, version 18.0.0 (Unihan_Readings.txt, kDefinition, https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/Unihan.zip): 皿, U+76BF, is defined as a shallow container, and 益, U+76CA, as profit, benefit, advantage; 田, U+7530, is field, and 巾, U+5DFE, is kerchief, towel. The letter ʭ is Latin letter bidental percussive, U+02AD; Wikipedia's article Bidental consonant (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bidental_consonant, read 2026-09-30) describes a bidental percussive as made by striking the teeth together, gnashing or chattering them. The Japanese words come from Wiktionary, each entry read 2026-09-30: ha, tooth (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/歯); kiba, a tusk or fang (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/牙); gaburi, with a large bite, chomping (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/がぶり); kamu, to bite, to chew (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/噛む); gachigachi, clattering, chattering, as of teeth (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/がちがち); kachikachi, a clatter, click clack (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/かちかち); girigiri, grinding (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/ぎりぎり); hamigaki, brushing one's teeth (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/歯磨き). 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. Emoji shown as pictures by default are left out. "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). "Short" means 6 code points or fewer, spaces counted. Nothing here says how any one device draws a face. Licence: own work
