A yellow face with simple, open eyes and a thin, closed smile. Conveys a wide range of positive, happy, and friendly sentiments. Its tone can&nbsp;also be patronizing, passive-aggressive, or ironic, as if saying This is fine when it&rsquo;s really not.

Slightly Smiling Face

Has the same grin and eyes as&nbsp;<a href="/grinning-face-with-smiling-eyes/">😄 Grinning Face With Smiling Eyes</a>&nbsp;but with a single, blue bead of sweat, usually over its left eye. Intended to depict nerves or discomfort but commonly used to express a close call, as if saying Whew! and wiping sweat from the forehead.&nbsp;

Smiling Face with Open Mouth and Cold Sweat

A classic smiley, turned upside down. Implemented as a flipped version of&nbsp;<a href="/slightly-smiling-face/">🙂 Slightly Smiling Face</a>&nbsp;on most platforms.

Commonly used to convey&nbsp;irony, sarcasm, joking, or a sense of goofiness or silliness.&nbsp;Its intent can be&nbsp;similar to the bemused Oh well! of <a href="/person-shrugging/">🤷&nbsp;Person Shrugging</a> or the shruggie emoticon, &macr;\_(ツ)_/&macr;.

Microsoft&#39;s design <a href="/microsoft/windows-10-anniversary-update/upside-down-face/">previously featured</a> a full-toothed grin.

Upside-Down Face

A yellow smiley face melting into a puddle.&nbsp;

The eyes and mouth slip down the face, yet still maintain a distorted smile. This quality lends this emoji to sarcasm.

Can be used literally to talk about extreme heat. Can also be used metaphorically to talk about embarrassment, shame, a slowly sinking sense of dread, or feeling overwhelmed in some way.

Smiling Face with Smiling Eyes

A yellow face with open eyes, a thin closed-mouth smile, and a single tear falling from one of its eyes.

Can also be a response to something that is bittersweet.

This emoji and <a href="/slightly-smiling-face/">🙂 Slightly Smiling Face</a> have a similar smile, and <a href="/crying-face/">😢 Crying Face</a> and <a href="/crying-cat/">😿 Crying Cat</a> have a similar lone tear. Not to be confused with&nbsp;<a href="/face-with-tears-of-joy/">😂 Face with Tears of Joy</a>, which has a wide toothy grin&nbsp;and tears coming from both eyes.

Smiling Face with Tear

A yellow face with a hand covering its mouth. Displays most often with&nbsp;smiling eyes and/or blushing cheeks, suggesting coy laughter or embarrassment, as if cheekily saying&nbsp;Oops! 

Prior to the release of <a href="/apple/ios-15.4/">iOS 15.4</a> in March 2022, Apple&#39;s design&nbsp;<a href="/apple/ios-11.1/face-with-hand-over-mouth/">featured</a> simple, open eyes, suggesting someone gasping Oh my! in serious surprise, shock, concern, or apology. This same update assigned Apple&#39;s original 🤭 design to <a href="/emoji-14.0/">Emoji 14.0</a>&#39;s new&nbsp;<a href="/face-with-open-eyes-and-hand-over-mouth/">🫢 Face with Open Eyes and Hand Over Mouth</a> emoji.

May be used to similar effect as <a href="/speak-no-evil-monkey/">🙊 Speak-No-Evil Monkey.</a>&nbsp;See also <a href="/zipper-mouth-face/">🤐&nbsp;Zipper-Mouth Face</a>.&nbsp;Joins <a href="/hugging-face/">🤗&nbsp;Hugging Face</a>, <a href="/thinking-face/">🤔&nbsp;Thinking Face</a>, and <a href="/shushing-face/">🤫&nbsp;Shushing Face</a> as one of the few smileys featuring hands.

Facebook&#39;s design <a href="/facebook/4.0/face-with-hand-over-mouth/">previously featured</a> open eyes, though an earlier version had&nbsp;<a href="/facebook/2.1/face-with-hand-over-mouth/">smiling eyes</a>&nbsp;like those in the vendor&#39;s current design.

Smiling Face with Smiling Eyes and Hand Covering Mouth

A yellow face with raised eyebrows, enlarged eyes, slight frown, and long nose,&nbsp;indicating&nbsp;it&rsquo;s telling a lie in the manner of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinocchio">Pinocchio</a>. Like that character, Facebook&#39;s design features a wooden nose.&nbsp;

May represent lying, a liar, and other concepts of deceit and dishonesty to varying degrees of intensity. Sometimes used to convey disbelief (e.g., You must be kidding) or feeling abashed (e.g., as if&nbsp;caught in the act of lying).

Lying Face

A yellow face with simple, open eyes and a slight frown. Often conveys a mild degree of concern, disappointment, or sadness, but usually&nbsp;less intensely&nbsp;than <a href="/frowning-face/">☹️&nbsp;Frowning Face</a>.

<a href="/samsung/touchwiz-7.1/slightly-frowning-face/">Samsung</a> and <a href="/facebook/2.0/slightly-frowning-face/">Facebook</a> previously included eyebrows.

Slightly Frowning Face

A classic sad face. A yellow face with&nbsp;simple, open eyes and wide, steep frown. May convey such feelings as moderate concern or disappointment and affectionate sadness, as when missing a loved one. Its sentiment is usually more intense than <a href="/slightly-frowning-face/">🙁&nbsp;Slightly Frowning Face</a>, which has a smaller frown.

This smiley predates Unicode emoji support. In its Unicode name of White Frowning Face, white&nbsp;does not refer to skin tone or ethnicity, although&nbsp;Samsung&rsquo;s <a href="/samsung/touchwiz-7.0/frowning-face/">early designs</a>&nbsp;colored the face white.&nbsp;See the glossary for the&nbsp;term&nbsp;<a href="/glossary/#white" title="📖 Glossary">white</a>&nbsp;in Unicode character names.

White Frowning Face

Face Holding Back Tears

A yellow face with small, open eyes and an open frown. Samsung&rsquo;s design shows upper teeth and tongue. Meaning widely varies, but may convey mild sadness, disappointment, concern, and amazement.

An early Microsoft design showed a face with its eyebrows <a href="/microsoft/windows-8.1/frowning-face-with-open-mouth/">contorted in anger</a>.

Frowning Face with Open Mouth

A love&nbsp;heart, broken in two. This emoji represents the aching one feels when they are missing the&nbsp;person they love.

Broken Heart

A gesture showing the index finger and&nbsp;thumb touching&nbsp;to make an open circle. Represents &ldquo;I&rsquo;m okay&rdquo; or &ldquo;yes, that&rsquo;s correct / good&rdquo;.

In American Sign Language (ASL), the number nine is represented with this gesture. The same hand sign can be seen as offensive in some cultures, including in parts of Europe, the Middle East, and South America.

This can also be used as&nbsp;<a href="https://blog.emojipedia.org/no-the-ok-hand-is-not-a-symbol-of-white-power/">a&nbsp;symbol of White Supremacy</a>, depending on context.

OK Hand Sign

A&nbsp;thumbs-up gesture indicating approval.

In certain contexts, the use of the Thumbs Up emoji can be construed as being passive aggressive or sarcastic. Despite this possible use, it&nbsp;remains a popular means of quickly and earnestly expressing approval.
