A face with small, open eyes, open frown, raised eyebrows, and a pale blue forehead, as if experiencing a <a href="/cold-face/">cold</a> flash.

While intended to represent fear (less intense than <a href="/face-screaming-in-fear/">😱&nbsp;Face Screaming in Fear</a>), it also conveys a wide variety of emotions, including feeling amazed, shocked, sad, upset, and <a href="/cold-face/">cold</a>. Bears the same expression as <a href="/anguished-face/">😧&nbsp;Anguished Face</a> on most platforms.

Unlike other vendors, Huawei&#39;s design shows this emoji holding a hand over its mouth, albeit differently to&nbsp;<a href="/face-with-open-eyes-and-hand-over-mouth">🫢&nbsp;Face with Open Eyes and Hand Over Mouth</a>&nbsp;and <a href="/face-with-hand-over-mouth">🤭 Face with Hand Over Mouth</a>.&nbsp;Samsung&rsquo;s design previously showed upper teeth and tongue.

Fearful Face

A cartoon cat variant of <a href="/weary-face/">😩 Weary Face</a>. Its expression more closely resembles <a href="/face-screaming-in-fear/">😱 Face Screaming in Fear</a>.&nbsp;Depicted as yellow on major platforms.

Weary Cat Face

Face with Peeking Eye

A yellow face with small, open eyes, open frown, and raised eyebrows. Samsung&rsquo;s design shows upper teeth and tongue. Meaning widely varies, but may convey alarm, confusion, or sadness, as if gasping in shock or concern.

Bears the same eyes and mouth as <a href="/frowning-face-with-open-mouth/">😦&nbsp;Frowning Face With Open Mouth</a> on most platforms, but its eyebrows give it a more surprised expression.

Anguished Face

A yellow face screaming in fear, depicted by wide, white eyes, a long, open mouth, hands pressed on cheeks, and a pale&nbsp;blue forehead, as if it has lost its color. Its expression evokes Edvard Munch&rsquo;s iconic painting <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Scream">The Scream</a>.

While intended to represent horror and fright, it commonly conveys such feelings as shock, awe, disbelief, and intense excitement, as a screaming fan.

Samsung&rsquo;s design <a href="/samsung/touchwiz-7.1/face-screaming-in-fear/">previously featured</a> a <a href="/ghost/">ghost</a> flying from its mouth. <a href="/weary-cat/">🙀&nbsp;Weary Cat Face</a> bears a similar expression.

Face Screaming in Fear

A yellow face with closed eyes, frown, and a bead of sweat dripping from its forehead. Usually depicted with a single sweat bead on its right side, though Facebook and WhatsApp include the sweat bead on its left side.

Meaning widely varies, but commonly conveys a moderate degree of sadness, pain, frustration, or disappointment, similar to <a href="/crying-face/">😢&nbsp;Crying Face</a> and <a href="/sad-but-relieved-face/">😥&nbsp;Sad But Relieved Face</a>. Not to be confused with <a href="/grinning-face-with-sweat/">😅&nbsp;Grinning Face With Sweat</a> or other emojis with tear or sweat droplets.

Google&nbsp;<a href="/google/android-8.0/downcast-face-with-sweat/">previously featured</a> a blue face. Microsoft <a href="/microsoft/windows-10/downcast-face-with-sweat/">previously depicted</a> multiple beads of sweat from around the smiley&rsquo;s forehead. Earlier designs <a href="/samsung/experience-9.0/downcast-face-with-sweat/">from Samsung</a> had more <a href="/pleading-face/">pleading</a> eyes.

Face with Cold Sweat

A face with open eyes and a small, open frown. Its eyebrows are furrowed, with a single bead of cold sweat dripping down, and its forehead is pale blue, as if experiencing a <a href="/cold-face/">cold</a> flash. Samsung&#39;s design shows upper teeth and tongue.

Meaning widely varies, but commonly conveys such feelings as sadness, disappointment, fear, and anxiety. Similar to <a href="/sad-but-relieved-face/">😥&nbsp;Sad but Relieved Face</a>, but with a blue head and larger frown.

Not to be confused with <a href="/crying-face/">😢&nbsp;Crying Face</a>, <a href="/sleepy-face/">😪&nbsp;Sleepy Face</a>, or other emojis with tear or sweat droplets. <a href="/microsoft/windows-8.1/anxious-face-with-sweat/">Microsoft</a> and <a href="/samsung/touchwiz-7.1/anxious-face-with-sweat/">Samsung</a> previously featured smileys that appeared more excited in expression.

Speaking Head in Silhouette

A&nbsp;wooden painted horse, found on the carousel at a&nbsp;carnival. Faces to the left-of screen.

A previous version of Windows displayed the carousel horse <a href="/microsoft/windows-8.1/carousel-horse/" title="🎠 Carousel Horse on Microsoft Windows 8.1">facing right</a>, which was changed to <a href="/microsoft/windows-10/carousel-horse/" title="🎠 Carousel Horse on Microsoft Windows 10">face left</a>&nbsp;on Windows 10 for cross-platform consistency.

Carousel Horse

The see no evil monkey, called Mizaru (Japanese for &ldquo;see not&rdquo;), one of the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_wise_monkeys">Three Wise Monkeys</a>. Depicted as the brown <a href="/monkey-face/">🐵 Monkey Face</a> with hands covering its eyes.

The Three Wise Monkeys represent the proverb see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil, frequently interpreted as&nbsp;a call for discretion or willful ignorance.

Often used as a playful way to convey a laughing, disbelieving, cringing&nbsp;I can&rsquo;t believe what I&rsquo;m seeing! or I can&rsquo;t bear to look!

See also <a href="/hear-no-evil-monkey/">🙉 Hear-No-Evil Monkey</a> and <a href="/speak-no-evil-monkey/">🙊 Speak-No-Evil Monkey</a>.

This emoji is considered <a href="https://blog.emojipedia.org/how-the-monkey-emoji-is-racist/">racist in some contexts</a>, particularly when used to disparage, insult, and abuse people with dark skin, especially Black people.

See-No-Evil Monkey

A yellow face with big glasses, a large nose, thick eyebrows, and a mustache. Used to represent someone in disguise.

The features of this particular disguised face are taken from the &ldquo;Groucho Mask&rdquo; or &ldquo;Groucho Glasses,&rdquo; designed in the likeness of the caricature played by Julius Henry Marx in the Marx Brothers&#39; films. These comedic films were popular in the 1930s and &lsquo;40s, and the mask has been a mainstay of joke shops since <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2000/06/18/books/there-ain-t-no-sanity-claus.html">as early as the 1940s</a>.

Other emoji faces in disguise include <a href="/superhero/">🦸 Superhero</a> and <a href="/supervillain/">🦹 Supervillain</a>.

Disguised Face

A smiling yellow face with glasses, often with teeth showing, originally buck teeth on most platforms.

While this emoji is often used by people calling themselves nerds in a self-deprecating way, the nerdy glasses paired with buck teeth can, and often does, evoke anti-Asian stereotypes. The fact that the default color of emoji faces is yellow further pushes this emoji into racist &quot;<a href="https://hyperallergic.com/189200/asians-meet-new-yellow-emoji-with-frowny-face/">yellowface</a>&quot;&nbsp;territory.

Some platforms have redesigned nerd face&nbsp;over time to not have buck teeth, perhaps in acknowledgement of the harm this imagery&nbsp;may cause. Google, Facebook, WhatsApp, and JoyPixels <a href="/google/android-7.0/nerd-face/">originally</a> <a href="/facebook/2.0/nerd-face/">featured</a> <a href="/joypixels/4.0/nerd-face/">designs</a> with buck teeth but have since changed (or completely removed) the teeth on nerd face.

Apple, Twitter, Microsoft, Samsung, and other platforms still use designs for this emoji that include buck teeth.

Nerd Face

A sun with a smiling face, as a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun_of_May">Sun of May</a>. Generally depicted as a golden-yellow disc with a smiling, often human face with a nose, radiating triangular&nbsp;rays, representing the sun&#39;s heat and light.

May be used to represent the sun more generally. Also used to represent sunny, warm, or hot weather and various positive and happy (sunny) feelings.

See also <a href="/sun/">☀️&nbsp;Sun</a>. Not to be confused with <a href="/bright-button/">🔆&nbsp;Bright Button</a> or <a href="/dim-button/">🔅&nbsp;Dim&nbsp;Button</a>.

Apple, WhatsApp, and Facebook&#39;s suns feature human faces. Other platforms, including Twitter, feature a simple smiley, as <a href="/slightly-smiling-face/">🙂&nbsp;Slightly Smiling Face</a>.

Microsoft&#39;s eyes <a href="/microsoft/windows-10-anniversary-update/sun-with-face/">previously</a> appeared open, though they were also closed in the platform&#39;s <a href="/microsoft/windows-8.0/sun-with-face/">early designs</a>.&nbsp;<a href="/facebook/2.0/sun-with-face/">Facebook&#39;s</a> expression previously resembled <a href="/grinning-face-with-smiling-eyes/">😁&nbsp;Beaming Face With Smiling Eyes</a>.
