Crying kaomoji use tear-like eye shapes and punctuation to make tears visible in text. This collection distinguishes quieter tear tracks from more dramatic crying expressions. The same face can accompany sadness, relief, or exaggerated laughter, so the sentence should explain which reaction you mean.

Quiet tear tracks
Simple letter and punctuation constructions.
More dramatic reactions
Marked eyes or added punctuation emphasize the face.
Distinguish the reason from the intensity
A restrained (T_T) can accompany a small setback. A larger marked-eye expression can make a reply more theatrical. Neither tells the reader whether the situation is serious without context.
For a real request for support, write what you want to share and what help you need. For a playful reaction, make the exaggeration clear in the words.
Preserve the eye and tear construction
T-shaped eyes use the vertical letter stroke as a tear-like track. The marked-eye examples use different scripts and punctuation, so changing a visually similar character can alter the expression.
Unicode identifies the letters and marks separately. The complete crying arrangement has no single character name in the Unicode data.
Sources and references
Unicode supports the individual letter and punctuation identities. Tear-track and intensity readings are editorial interpretations, not universal emotion or health assessments.
How this collection is maintained
Review checks tear-led distinction from sad faces, actual script identities, outer mark preservation, assigned characters, precise copies, contextual examples, citations, and mobile layout.

Quick FAQ
Does a crying face always mean sadness?
No. It can accompany relief, emotion, or a playful exaggeration. Write the reason so the recipient does not have to infer it from the face.
What are the eyes in (ಥ_ಥ)?
They are Kannada Letter Tha characters, repurposed by their shapes. They are not Unicode characters named crying eyes.
