Man frowning Emoji

People

A man with a neutral or somber facial expression, often depicted with his hand resting against his forehead or near his temple. The look on his face conveys clear dissatisfaction or a sense of being troubled by recent news.

Usage Context

Use this to show that you are annoyed, tired, or dealing with a headache. It is the go-to choice when something goes wrong or someone says something particularly frustrating. It is frequently paired with 😫 or 🤦‍♂️ to emphasize a feeling of helplessness or exhaustion.

History

The base frowning person emoji was introduced in Unicode 6.0 in 2010. The male-specific variant was later added in 2016 as part of the effort to provide gendered options for human characters, standardizing how we express displeasure in text-based mobile messaging.
