Wilted flower Emoji
Animals
A drooping, faded red rose with a bent green stem and a single falling petal. It serves as the direct, mournful counterpart to the healthy, vibrant 🌹.
Usage Context
This emoji is frequently used to express sadness, heartbreak, or the end of a relationship. It is also a go-to for representing decay, missed opportunities, or a somber mood, often replacing words when someone wants to signal that they are feeling low or 'wilting' under pressure.
History
Added to the Unicode standard in 2016 as part of Emoji 3.0, it was introduced to provide a way to convey negative emotions or the passage of time without relying solely on sad faces. Its design leans on the classic visual trope of a dying flower as a shorthand for tragedy in Western culture.
