What does ๐ Disappointed Face emoji mean?
Itโs a bit of a bummer, but the disappointed face emoji, ๐, expresses varying degrees of sadness and disappointment.
People use it for everything from when a beloved friend passes away to when they couldnโt get tickets to the Beyoncรฉ concert ๐.
Where does ๐ Disappointed Face emoji come from?
The disappointed face was added to Unicode 6.0 in 2010. On most platforms, it appears as a yellow face frowning with closed eyes and eyebrows furrowed in sadness. It may be confused with the pensive face emoji, ๐, which is very similar but has more expressive eyebrows and a flatter mouth. It might also be mistaken for the slightly frowning face emoji, ๐, which doesnโt have eyebrows and seems to be saying Eep!
On some platforms, when you type in :(, it will auto-supply the disappointed face emoji. That makes it one of the most commonly used emoji, essentially used as a go-to sad face, as the emoji is indeed sometimes called. The disappointed face emoji is used to add tone and subtext to messages on social media or texts that could otherwise come off as flat or harsh. For example, โthereโs nothing I can do ๐โ feels much more helpless with the disappointed face emoji.
