Angry face with horns Emoji

Smileys

A purple face with a furrowed, angry expression, two dark horns, and a small frown. It is the more aggressive, frustrated sibling to the grinning 😈.

Usage Context

This emoji is frequently used to signal bad temper, spite, or a desire for mischief. While it can suggest being 'evil,' it is most often deployed in casual chat when someone is genuinely annoyed or lashing out during a heated argument.

History

Added in 2010 as part of Unicode 6.0, this icon was heavily influenced by early Japanese mobile phone sets that featured a wide variety of mythical creatures. It reflects the internet-era habit of using mythological character sprites to express complex human emotions that standard 'smiley' faces couldn't quite capture.
