Face with steam from nose

Steam blowing from the nose. It can mean fuming, but online it more often means triumph, pride or fierce determination.

Common after a win, a hard workout or a bold statement: “passed the exam 😤.” It also signals annoyance in a huffy, cartoonish way.

Its name suggests anger, so readers who know only that sense can mistake a proud message for an angry one.
