Cold face Emoji
Smileys
A yellow-skinned face with a grimacing expression, wearing a thick layer of blue ice over its forehead and eyes. Icicles hang from its chin, suggesting the sensation of being stuck in sub-zero temperatures.
Usage Context
Used to describe actual freezing weather, a literal chill, or a reaction to something 'cold' like a savage comeback or a harsh rejection. It is frequently sent alongside ❄️ to emphasize that the sender is shivering or dealing with an icy environment.
History
Added to the Unicode standard in 2018 as part of Emoji 11.0. Its inclusion responded to user demand for a more extreme version of cold-weather reactions, moving beyond the simple blue faces used in earlier chat apps to depict a state of complete frostbite.
