π’ U+1F4A2 β the four-pointed cross that draws a popping forehead vein in Japanese manga, now a stand-alone "someone's mad" emoji everywhere else. Click any symbol to copy it instantly.
The anger symbol (π’, U+1F4A2) has the plain Unicode name ANGER SYMBOL, but its shape comes straight out of Japanese comics: manga artists draw a small cross-shaped burst on a character's forehead or temple to represent a bulging, throbbing vein β shorthand for barely-contained rage that reads instantly even with the character's face otherwise calm. The convention has a name in Japanese, ikari-mark (ζγγγΌγ―), and predates emoji by decades in print. It entered Unicode in version 6.0 (2010) as one of the original Japanese carrier symbols absorbed wholesale from SoftBank and DoCoMo's proprietary emoji sets, alongside π₯, π¦, and π€ β the small set of manga sound-effect marks that became emoji rather than being designed as emoji from scratch.
The vein mark itself, and the comic-panel effects it's part of the same family as.
The facial expressions π’ gets paired with to push a reaction from annoyed to furious.
Quieter marks for irritation that hasn't tipped into full rage.
