A wide-eyed sad face with a flower and a tear. The ✿ on the left is a flower in the hair, signature kawaii decoration. The ๑ ๑ on each side outline rounded chubby cheeks. The eyes •́ and •̩̥̀ are small bullet pupils with downturned accents and small undermarks — one of which carries a wet-shine quality that reads as a tear forming. The mouth ○ is a small open circle, like the face is about to gasp or whimper.
This kaomoji is decorated like a magical-girl heroine in the middle of a sad scene. The flower keeps the design pretty even as the face conveys distress — the result feels cinematic rather than ugly-crying. The asymmetric eye-undermarks suggest a single tear about to fall.
Use it for soft-sad content: missing someone, recounting a wholesome-but-sad story, captioning melancholy art. It is appropriate for personal-but-not-private contexts — a sad post on Twitter/X about a pet, a TikTok caption on a goodbye video, a Discord message in a venting channel. On Tumblr-style aesthetic posts it pairs with photo-essay style sad content.
The matching Japanese mood is しょんぼり (shonbori — dejected, downcast). Pair this kaomoji with phrases like かなしい (‘kanashii’ — sad), さびしい (‘sabishii’ — lonely), or なきそう (‘nakisou’ — about to cry).
