Typing Angry Emoticons on a Computer, Phone, or Tablet

1
Create horizontal angry faces. If you don't want to (or can't) use emojis, you can get your anger across by typing angry faces with symbols on your keyboard. These horizontal faces are considered "Western" faces, and are traditionally used in texts and chat rooms. Below are some of the most common Western angry faces, and many chat programs will automatically convert these to an image:
- >:(
- >:@
- X(
- >8(
- :-||
2
Create vertical angry faces. These are considered "Eastern" faces, and gained popularity in Japan and Korea. There is a much larger variety in these faces, owing to the use of a lot of different special characters. Not everyone will be able to see all of the characters in these faces, especially if they are using an older system. Many of these are also referred to as "Kirby" faces, as they resemble Nintendo's Kirby character.^{[3]

You can use this key: > (found 2 keys to the right of M). Hold shift and push the period or full stop key. Then, hold shift and push the key to the right of the L key, the colon. (:) After that, you can use an open parentheses (SHIFT+9) to finish it off. You will be left with this: >:(
