If a dwarf is very unhappy, they'll have a flashing yellow exclamation point. If they're so miserable that they're on the brink of a tantrum, they'll flash a red exclamation point. If they are in a special strange mood they will have some other color of exclamation point, depending on the type of strange mood.

Otherwise, to check a dwarf's mood you look at their thoughts and preferences. Press u to go to the unit list and then find the dwarf you want to check the mood of. Then press c after highlighting that dwarf to zoom in on them. Occasionally there may be multiple units on the same tile and you end up looking at the wrong one. Just press v to cycle through the units on the selected tile until you find the right one. Once you have the right dwarf selected, press p to go to the unit's preferences page, and then press z to look at their profile. Finally, in their profile hit Enter to view the dwarf's mood, recent mood-influencing thoughts, and likes and dislikes.
