Face with symbols on mouth Emoji
Smileys
A yellow face with a red, angry expression and a black bar containing white symbols covering its mouth. The icons representing the illegible profanity act as a visual stand-in for vulgar language.
Usage Context
This emoji is the digital equivalent of a character shouting a string of unprintable swear words. It is widely used to express extreme frustration, rage, or indignation when a standard angry face like 😡 just isn't intense enough to convey your level of annoyance.
History
The use of symbols like @, #, $, and % to represent censored cursing in comics is known as a 'grawlix,' a term coined by cartoonist Mort Walker in 1964. This emoji was added to the Unicode standard in 2017 to bring this classic print media trope into modern text-based communication.
