What are Pout Kaomoji?
Pout kaomojis represent pursed-lip, sulky, and playfully annoyed expressions using the Greek lowercase epsilon ε (U+03B5). The curvature of ε naturally mimics pushed-forward lips, making it the universally recognized mouth glyph for tsundere sulks, mild complaints, and flustered reactions.

By altering the eye pairs, diacritics, and cheek markers around the ε mouth, distinct moods are conveyed:
