Running Kaomoji

Speed lines

Running faces are drawn with lines behind them that show speed and dust.

• ε=ε= is a puff of dust behind running feet, as in ε=ε=ε=┌(｡･ω･)┘.
• ─=≡Σ is a blur of speed, used for zooming very fast.
• The direction the arms point shows which way the face is going.

Running to or running away?

• Running to you: arms out in front, like ─=≡Σ((( つ◕ω◕)つ, is a flying hug.
• Running away: a panicked face, like ε=ε=ε=┏( >_<)┛, is escaping something scary or embarrassing.
• Running late: a plain dash works for “on my way!”.
• Running happily: sparkles or flowers behind the face mean skipping along.

Small use cases

Send a dash when you are late for a call, when you need to leave a chat quickly (“brb ε=ε=┌( >_<)┘ ♡”), or after you said something embarrassing and want to flee as a joke. Running faces are often long, so on a narrow phone they can wrap onto two lines. If that happens, use a shorter one.

Running late, politely

“Sorry, five minutes late!” sounds nicer with a dash after it. The face shows you are hurrying, not ignoring the plan. For a chat you need to leave fast, “brb” plus a running face is clear and friendly.
