Face with diagonal mouth Emoji

Smileys

A yellow face with simple, open eyes and a crooked, diagonal line for a mouth. The expression conveys a sense of uncertainty, hesitation, or a lack of strong opinion.

Usage Context

This is the go-to emoji when you aren't quite sure how to feel about a situation. Use it when someone asks for your opinion on a mediocre movie, or when you are dealing with a vague text message that leaves you feeling mildly annoyed or underwhelmed. It pairs well with 😒 when you want to show deeper annoyance or 🤷 when you are truly shrugging off a confusing event.

History

Added to the Unicode standard in 2021 as part of Emoji 14.0, this face was designed to bridge the gap between pure confusion and total disapproval. It captures the modern 'meh' sentiment that had previously been difficult to express without using multiple disparate emojis.
