What the anger symbol 💢 emoji means
💢 is the anger symbol: a red cross of four curved lines, the popping vein mark that manga and anime draw on a character’s temple when they are furious. It means anger without a face — added to text (“the printer jammed again 💢”), placed next to a photo, or stacked 💢💢 for escalating rage. It is the emoji people search for as “anime anger symbol” and it reads as comic and stylised rather than truly hostile. Real fury is 😡 enraged face; swearing is 🤬 face with symbols on mouth.
