Face with crossed-out eyes Emoji

Smileys

A yellow face featuring wide, open eyes replaced by large 'X' shapes and a slightly gaping, wide-open mouth. The expression conveys a state of being completely overwhelmed, disoriented, or physically incapacitated.

Usage Context

This face is the go-to reaction for feeling lightheaded, confused, or suffering from a severe case of 'brain fog.' It is frequently used to signal that you have reached your limit after a long day or to joke about being 'dead' from laughter after seeing a post from 😂.

History

Initially added to the Unicode standard in 2010 as part of the emoji expansion, this character was modeled after the classic 'dizzy' trope found in vintage slapstick cartoons and comic strips, where characters would be rendered with X's over their eyes to denote they had been knocked out cold.
