I see that emoticon all the time but I don't know what people mean by it. Is it useless if people see it two different ways??

Isn't the ">" supposed to be the mouth, and the expression is like a sad/regretful face? I don't know how to explain it, but that's the way I always saw it...

i see two!!
:> as in happy face in a kindda shy way
and :?? as in speechless..

>: can also means *pout face*

I consider the ">" to be the mouth.

Kinda weird for it to be the eyebrows if there is nothing after the ":"
I would consider it an angry face if it looked like this: ):< or D:<

I immediately see the > as eyebrows, so angry face. I have to try to see a frown. ^^

You are the reason I started this thread.

I've never seen anyone use just ">:"
Normally it would be ">: (" or ">: )" or something, with the > as the eyebrows.
If you want a pouty/frowny face, and ": (" isn't good enough, just use ":<"... at least that one's aiming the right way.
