What does the Worried Face emoji mean?

The Worried Face emoji (😟) depicts a worried face and belongs to the Smileys & Emotion category of the Unicode emoji standard. It is a widely recognised symbol that works across modern devices and platforms. Its official Unicode assignment is U+1F61F, introduced with Emoji 1.0 in 2015. Once your system has an updated emoji font, the character renders consistently wherever you paste it. In everyday chat this face is used to set tone β€” softening a request, signalling humour, or making a short reply feel warm instead of blunt. It frequently appears in messaging apps, comment threads, and social captions where emotional clarity matters. On Apple, Google, Samsung, Microsoft and other vendors the artwork differs slightly β€” colour palette, shading, and line weight change β€” but the core concept of worried face stays identical, so the emoji remains universally readable. You can copy this emoji as the character itself (😟), as an HTML entity (😟), or as a shortcode (:worried-face:) for platforms like Slack, Discord, and GitHub.

This detailed meaning was written by the UseEmoji editorial team after reviewing Unicode CLDR data and real-world usage. For quick identification, think of this emoji as shorthand for worried face β€” it conveys that idea faster than words while keeping the message friendly and scannable.
