Pout vs angry kaomoji: what is the difference?
Pout kaomoji use a small pushed-out mouth (^, ε) and calm eyes, so they read as sulky or playfully annoyed. Angry kaomoji add gritted teeth (皿, 益), anger marks (＃, 💢) or table flips. Use a pout when you want to complain without sounding harsh.

Do pout kaomoji work on iPhone, Android and Discord?
We have not published a per-device test table for these faces yet, so we do not claim how each one renders on iPhone, Android, Windows or Discord. Faces made only of common symbols such as ^ ε ￣ ‸ usually display on current phones; faces that add a emoji show that emoji in your device's own style. Copy a face and paste it where you plan to use it to check.

FAQ
What is the pouting kaomoji?
(￣^￣) is the classic pouting kaomoji: flat eyes and a ^ mouth pushed forward. (｀ε´) is a cheekier pout with puffed lips.
What kaomoji means annoyed?
For mild annoyance use (￣ヘ￣) or (¬_¬”); for “I am done” use (=_=). Save gritted-teeth faces like (▼皿▼#) for real frustration.
Is (´・ω・`) a pouting face?
(´・ω・`), called “shobon”, comes from the Japanese forum 2channel and means disappointed or dejected rather than angry — a quiet, sulky pout.
