Disappointed Kaomoji — 200+ Disappointed Lenny Face to Copy
200 disappointed kaomoji. Flat mouths and lowered brows.

How to copy and type them
Tap to copy. The flat _ mouth is the key. Swapping it for ︿ turns disappointment into sadness, which is a genuinely different message and the most common mix-up in this part of the site.
If you are unsure which you mean: sadness is about a loss, disappointment is about an expectation.
Where they work
These render in WhatsApp, Instagram, TikTok, Discord, Telegram and game chats. The combining accents on •̀ and •́ are widely supported, though on some older Android builds they sit slightly off-centre.
The plain (._.) version uses only ASCII and cannot break anywhere.
Which one to use
Use disappointed when a plan fell through, a result was worse than expected, or someone did not do what they said. It reads as measured rather than upset, which is usually what you want in those situations.
For sadness see sad kaomoji, for irritation annoyed kaomoji, and for silent judgement look of disapproval.
Is disappointed the same as sad?
No, and the distinction is worth keeping. Sad is about something bad that happened. Disappointed is about something good that did not. The faces differ in the mouth — downturned for sad, flat for disappointed — and using the wrong one changes what you are telling someone.
What should I send if I am not sure which I mean?
The flat-mouth version. Disappointment is the more contained of the two, so it undershoots rather than overshoots — and a face that reads as measured is easier to correct than one that reads as more upset than you are.
Does this read as passive-aggressive?
It can, in the wrong context. Sent to someone who let you down it lands as a mild reproach, which may be exactly right or may escalate. If you want to express the feeling without directing it at anyone, a plain sad face is safer.
