woman frowning

This emoji depicts a woman with a frowning expression. It is often used to express unpleasant or sad feelings.

It's useful for conveying negative emotions in messages or on social media. It's especially common when talking about disappointing or upsetting situations.

It is globally recognized as a universal non-verbal expression of displeasure or sadness. Gen Z, in particular, tends to use this emoji to convey emotions more subtly instead of direct verbal expressions.

This expression frequently appears in Korean dramas and variety shows and is also called the 'annoyed emoji.' In actual conversations, it's also used in jokes or playful contexts and as a means of expressing familiarity.
