Man frowning: dark skin tone Emoji

People

A dark-skinned man with his hand resting against his forehead, his face set in a clear, disappointed frown. The gesture conveys immediate frustration, stress, or the feeling of being overwhelmed by a bad situation.

Usage Context

Widely used in digital messaging to express annoyance, exhaustion, or a 'facepalm' reaction when someone says something foolish or irritating. It pairs well with other expressions of mood like 😒 or 🤦🏿‍♂️ to drive home a sense of social exasperation.

History

While the base frowning person character dates back to early Unicode releases, the ability to modify skin tones was introduced in 2015 as part of the push for more inclusive representation across global digital platforms.
