What Is the Table Flip Emoticon?

Quick answer: the table flip (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ shows a furious little figure hurling a table into the air. It is the text version of losing your patience, and it is almost always used as an exaggerated joke rather than real anger.

People also look for it as a table flip emoji, flip table emoji, and table flipping emoji. There is no official picture emoji of a flipping table, which is exactly why this text version became so popular.

How Do You Read (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻?

Piece	Characters	What it shows
Raised arm	╯ before the face	The arm already swinging up
Face	(°□°)	Wide eyes and a mouth open in a shout
Throwing arm	╯ after the face	The arm that launched the table
Motion line	︵	The arc of the table flying through the air
Table	┻━┻	Box-drawing characters, upside down with legs in the air

Turned the right way up, the table is written ┬─┬ or ┳━┳, which is why every put-it-back face ends with one of those.

How Do You Flip Text Instead of a Table?

1. Type the word: Enter a name, a subject, or a problem in the box, such as Monday.
2. Open Flip Your Words: Each thrower now hurls your word upside down: (╯°□°)╯︵ ʎɐpuoW.
3. Pick a thrower: Classic, rage, bear, Lenny, cat, or a gentle toss.
4. Copy and paste: The flipped letters are real Unicode, so they paste anywhere.

Rotation is faked: ɐ stands in for a, ʇ for t, and so on, and the letters run backwards, so tilting your head 180 degrees reveals the word.

Letters borrowed from other alphabets, like the rotated ones here, fill the weird text generator.
