Sleeping face Emoji

Smileys

A yellow face with closed eyes, a gentle frown, and a light blue 'zzz' graphic hovering above it to indicate deep slumber. A small droplet of drool often drips from the corner of the mouth to signal complete exhaustion or heavy sleep.

Usage Context

Widely used to signal that the sender is heading to bed, exhausted from a long day, or bored to the point of falling asleep. It serves as a visual shorthand for being 'off the clock' or 'logged off' after an intense conversation. It is frequently sent alongside 🛌 or 💤 to confirm the user is offline.

History

Added to the Unicode standard in 2012 as part of the expansion of facial expressions, the 'zzz' icon is a direct carryover from decades of newspaper comic strips and cartoons, where cartoonists used the sound of buzzing bees to represent the rhythmic droning of a snore.
