@estonia It is the act of sighing. Asterisks (these *star* thingies) usually show action Well, some people use hyphens (these -liney- thingies), but oh well.
To sigh is to exhale heavily while emitting either a tone of relief, exasperation, or no tone at all. It can be accompanied by words of irritation, disappointment, or relief.
Sighing context:
"Person dropped her ice cream onto the sidewalk for the fifteenth time that day.
Human sighed. 'Maybe you should just eat it at the table,' he said."
or:
"Person saw Human rushing towards her at sonic speed, and her heart quickened pace. Just in time, however, Human was able to stop the large vehicle. They both sighed in relief."

Yes, as a nation (which these characters obviously represent) Finland is not suicidal. On individual level, though, Finns are quite high in the charts. Clearly on top of other Nordics.
@Jouni I don't think so. Finland's not the type to go suicide, he has too much unresolved business in this world. And maybe he's trying to figure out WHO to stab FIRST? xD
Yes, Finland's knife is pointing at Sweden, but otherwise his posture (the way he's holding the knife, how his eyes are shut and he seems to be ignoring the world around him) suggests he's preparing for a seppuku.
@PandaSamuraj I think his main interest right now is revenge on the ghost, but he doesn't want Denmark grabbing his leg and crying "my hero!", so he desprately tries to control his urge to stab it.
