Face with head-bandage Emoji

Smileys

A yellow face showing a pained expression with a white bandage wrapped around its forehead. The eyes are usually closed or narrowed, and the mouth is set in a tight, grimacing line to show physical discomfort.

Usage Context

This emoji is the go-to way to tell people you’ve taken a tumble, are feeling under the weather, or are dealing with a headache. It’s frequently used to signal that someone is having a rough day or has been involved in a minor accident. It pairs well with 🤒 when you're feeling sick or 🩹 when you're in the middle of patching things up.

History

Introduced in Unicode 8.0 in 2015, this face joined the emoji set alongside several other health-related icons as mobile messaging platforms began to expand their catalog of expressions to cover specific physical states beyond basic emotional reactions.
