Where it comes from
Д is the Cyrillic letter De, used as a wide-open mouth in faces popularized on the Japanese board 2channel. The Greek Σ in front works like manga speed lines showing a startled recoil.
When to use it
Use it for shocking news, plot twists or surprising prices, usually with some humor. It is too dramatic for genuinely bad news or serious situations.
Examples
- The concert sold out in 2 minutes?! Σ(ﾟДﾟ)
- Wait, you're moving? Σ(ﾟДﾟ)
