Interpretation
Overview
(`皿´#) is a fierce, gritted-teeth anger kaomoji that looks like someone holding back a shout while still boiling with rage. Instead of a wide open screaming mouth, the rectangular 皿 shape suggests clenched teeth, tight jaw and a very tense expression. The added # mark acts like a popping vein from comics, showing that the character is already at their limit.
Visual structure
- The outer parentheses ( and ) form the general outline of the face, keeping the expression compact and focused.
- The backtick ` on the left and the acute accent ´ on the right act like sharp, slanted eyes or angry eyebrows, giving a fierce glare toward the center.
- The kanji 皿 works here as a stylized mouth. Its flat top and bottom lines with vertical strokes inside feel like clenched teeth or a jaw locked in anger, not relaxed at all.
- The full-width # at the end is a classic comic anger mark, similar to a throbbing vein or stress symbol that appears when a character is extremely irritated.
Together, these parts create a face that feels like suppressed shouting: very angry, fully activated, but more gritted and controlled than chaotic.
Emotional nuance
(`皿´#) usually carries:
- Intense irritation or "I’ve had enough" frustration
- Gritted-teeth anger at something clearly unfair or annoying
- A scolding, lecturing mood, as if you are about to give someone an earful
- Serious but still slightly cartoonish rage, good for strong reactions in text
Compared with loud screaming kaomojis, this one feels like the angry moment before or after the shout: jaw tight, brows furrowed, temper clearly visible.
Typical usage scenarios
- Complaining when someone repeatedly ignores rules, boundaries or your warnings.
- Reacting to bugs, crashes, delays or last-minute changes that completely ruin your plan.
- Playfully scolding friends after they troll you or cross a line in games or jokes.
- Emphasizing that you are not just mildly annoyed, but really upset and trying to hold it together.
In short, (`皿´#) is the kaomoji for clenched-jaw anger: strong, tense and ready to explode, yet still wrapped in a dramatic, anime-like style.
Usage guide
Tips
How to use (`皿´#) naturally
(`皿´#) is great when your feeling is more "gritted teeth" than "screaming out loud". It adds a sense of tight, controlled rage to your message, like you are forcing yourself not to explode but failing to hide how irritated you are.
When to use
- When someone repeats the same mistake or joke and you are out of patience.
- After last-minute schedule changes, extra tasks or unfair decisions that ruin your plan.
- When an app crash, bug or disconnect destroys your progress and you just want to yell.
- To scold a friend in a half-serious, half-comic way after they troll you in a game.
- When you want to show stronger anger than a simple "I’m annoyed" emoji can express.
When to be careful
- In very serious conversations (grief, trauma, deep conflicts), a rage kaomoji can feel harsh or unsupportive.
- With bosses, teachers, clients or strangers, (`皿´#) may look like real hostility instead of playful frustration.
- If the other person is already on edge, this expression may escalate tension instead of resolving it.
Example phrases
- "They changed the deadline again this morning (`皿´#)"
- "You ignored my warning three times already (`皿´#)"
- "The game crashed right before my clear, I’m done (`皿´#)"
- "You promised you wouldn’t do that again (`皿´#)"
Tip: If you are joking, soften the message with context, laughter or extra emojis. Let (`皿´#) carry the drama, but let your words reassure the other person that you are not actually attacking them.
