The ">" and "<" refers to the eyes that squint, and the triple "/" is for the blushing on the face. So this tells people that you're blushing so hard, embarrassed, but in a text way.

An embarrassed/frustrated smiley usually used on internet chat or role-playing sites. The > and < are the eyes and indicate that the smiley is squinting in frustration (like ><, >_<, >-<, or >.<) The // mean that the smiley is blushing.

Not to be confused with '^//^' which indicates the user is blushing with happiness/excitement which has to do with love.

>//< is usually used in a situation in which one would be humiliated or ashamed. Is usually but not always used by Anime fans, Role-players, or just purely awesome people.
