Differences between 😤 (face with steam from nose) and 😠 (angry face)

More on angry face

Both 😤 (face with steam from nose) and 😠 (angry face) convey strong negative emotions and can signal annoyance or intensity, but they do so with different tones and social uses: 😤 often reads as playful defiance, pride, or determined bravado — a mock gripe or “I got this!” energy that can be used lightly among friends or to show resilient confidence — whereas 😠 expresses genuine anger or serious frustration, a heavier, less joking face that communicates being upset or offended and can escalate conflict if used casually; use 😤 to keep the mood spirited and resilient, and reserve 😠 for real displeasure or when you need to make clear you’re truly upset.
