Tears streaming, arms in the air — happy crying. The full-width slashes ＼ and ／ on each side make sweeping raised arms, and the face inside has T-shaped eyes — a classic kaomoji glyph for tears flowing down a face. The ▽ open mouth and asterisk blushes make it clear that, despite the tears, this is a joyful expression rather than a sad one.
The combination of ‘crying eyes’ and ‘arms up celebrating’ is a deliberate paradox. In kaomoji culture, T-eyes alone read as sad — but pair them with celebratory body language and they flip to ‘tears of joy.’ It is one of the more emotionally complex shapes in the everyday kaomoji vocabulary.
Use it for the kind of news that makes you actually emotional in a good way: a long-awaited result, a reunion with a friend, finishing something you have been working on for a long time. It carries more weight than a simple ‘yay’ kaomoji because of the tears. On Discord and Twitter/X, it is common in fandom contexts when something beloved happens.
In Japanese this is exactly うれしなき (ureshi naki — happy tears) or 感涙 (kanrui — moved to tears). Pair it with ありがとう！ (‘arigatou!’ — thank you with full gratitude) or ほんとに… (‘honto ni…’ — ‘really…’ as a soft awed reaction).
