Where it comes from
It is a stronger version of the table flip. `Д´ is a classic Japanese angry face (Д is the Cyrillic letter De used as a shouting mouth), ヽ and ノ are the arms, and ┻━┻ on each side are the flipped tables.
When to use it
Use it when one table is not enough: a double fail, a total disaster in a game, or a joke about losing it. It is loud, so keep it for casual chats.
Examples
- The update deleted my save AND my settings ┻━┻ ︵ヽ(`Д´)ノ︵ ┻━┻
- Two deadlines moved to today ┻━┻ ︵ヽ(`Д´)ノ︵ ┻━┻

Every character in the face with its Unicode code point — handy if one shows up as a box on a friend's phone.
