Sword and Fighting Kaomoji

Fists, flexes and swords

• Boxing stance: ง on both sides is a pair of raised fists, as in (ง •̀_•́)ง.
• Flexing: ᕦ ᕤ are arms showing off muscles, as in ᕦ(ò_óˇ)ᕤ.
• Fist pump: و after the face is one fist pumped in the air.
• Swords: a crossed-swords symbol ⚔, or a blade built from keys, like the duel in o(>< )o-o==[]::::>.

Fighting spirit, not real fights

Most faces here are about determination, not anger. A fighter face means “let’s do this!” before an exam, a game or a long work day. In Japanese culture this cheer is close to ganbatte, “do your best”. Send one to a friend who needs courage and it reads as support.

For playful rivalry, two friends can trade sword faces in a mock duel. The angry page has the faces that are really mad.

A note on display

The tilted eyebrows in faces like •̀_•́ are combining accent marks, and the fists use Thai or Arabic letters. Many of these faces carry the “may not show on older devices” label. The cute fist shake o(｀ω´*)o uses common characters and is a safe pick everywhere.
