Interpretation

Overall feeling

(# ̄0 ̄) is a dramatic angry-yelling kaomoji. It looks like someone who is totally fed up and about to shout at the screen: the little reads as a popping anger vein, the long flat eyes show irritation, and the round 0 mouth is wide open in a frustrated yell. The overall mood is a mix of anger, protest, and noisy complaint, but still in a humorous, anime-style way rather than truly scary rage.

You can use (# ̄0 ̄) when something or someone has pushed your patience to the limit: deadlines moving again, teammates trolling in game, chores piling up, or a friend doing something so ridiculous that you can only shout “WHY?!”. It is especially suitable for playful ranting, mock anger, or exaggerated complaining, where you want to show that you are annoyed but not actually starting a fight.

Visual structure

Let’s break down (# ̄0 ̄) into its components:

  • ( and ) – the parentheses form the outline of the face, like a small head containing all the emotion.
  • – at the left side, this symbol is the classic manga-style anger mark or popping vein. It tells the reader that this is not calm surprise but real irritation.
  •  ̄  ̄ – the two long horizontal lines serve as narrowed, unimpressed eyes and lower face line. They create a stiff, flat expression that feels like “I’m done” energy.
  • 0 – the zero in the middle becomes a round open mouth, as if shouting, complaining, or letting out a long “Oyyy!” sound.

Together, these elements create a clear picture of someone glaring and yelling in frustration. The style is simple but very expressive, making the emotion instantly recognisable.

Typical usage

You can use (# ̄0 ̄) in many everyday chat situations:

  • When a plan is changed last minute again and you are tired of it.
  • Reacting to repeated bugs, crashes or lag that ruin your game or work.
  • Complaining in a friendly way when friends are late, forget something or tease you too much.
  • Responding to annoying yet harmless behaviour, such as noisy neighbours, spoilers, or spammy notifications.
  • Sharing your own mini disasters: burning food, missing the bus, or staying up all night accidentally.

Because the kaomoji is cute and stylised, it softens your anger into something more like comedic frustration. It lets you vent without sounding truly aggressive, which is perfect for chats where you want to keep the mood light even when you are annoyed.

Tips

How to use this kaomoji

(# ̄0 ̄) is ideal for expressing comic anger and loud frustration. Use it when you want to show that you are annoyed, fed up or ready to yell, but you still want the mood to stay playful rather than hostile. It turns your rant into something more like an anime character shouting at the screen.

When to use

  • When a plan, deadline or schedule has been changed too many times.
  • After repeated bugs, crashes or lag have ruined your progress.
  • When friends are teasing you non-stop and you want to fake-yell at them.
  • To complain about daily annoyances like delays, noise or minor inconveniences.
  • When you are telling a funny story about your own mistakes and want to dramatise your reaction.

Tips and cautions

  • Use (# ̄0 ̄) mainly in casual chats: group conversations, fandom servers, gaming DMs and social media comments.
  • Add at least a short line of text explaining what you are angry about so the kaomoji has clear context.
  • Avoid using it for truly serious conflicts or painful topics; in those moments, plain language and empathy are more appropriate.
  • If you tend to be dramatic in a fun way, this kaomoji can become your go-to symbol for “I am yelling but I still love you guys”.
