How tears are drawn
Kaomoji draw tears with a few clever characters. Once you know them, you can read any crying face:
T Tlooks like two eyes with tears running straight down.(T_T)is the oldest and easiest one.;under the eye is one tear or a drop of sweat.╥ ╥are long streams of tears.｡ﾟaround the face are tears flying out while wailing.
Not all tears are sad
People also cry when something is beautiful, funny or touching. A face that cries while giving a thumbs up, like ( ;∀;)b, means “this is so good I’m crying”. Goodbye tears with a wave fit the end of a trip or the last day of school. Dramatic wailing is often a joke, used for small pains like a broken nail.
When a scene hits hard
Readers use crying faces a lot when a story makes them emotional, for example when a favourite character says goodbye. For more reactions like this, see the reading reactions page. In a chat, one crying face after “I can’t believe that ending” says everything.
Quick tears on any keyboard
