Man pouting: medium skin tone Emoji

People

A man with a medium skin tone sporting a disgruntled expression with his lips pushed forward in a pout. He is shown from the chest up, often accompanied by his hands placed on his hips or cheeks to emphasize his dissatisfaction.

Usage Context

This emoji is the go-to for showing that you are annoyed, sulking, or feeling ignored. People use it to signal frustration in a conversation, similar to the vibe of 😒 or 😤, specifically when they feel someone is being difficult or not listening to their side of things.

History

The pouting man was added to the Unicode standard as part of Emoji 4.0 in 2016. It originated from the need to offer gendered and skin-toned variations for existing expressive faces, which were previously gender-neutral or defaulted to the yellow base version seen in earlier messaging platforms.
