What Does Mean?
The anguished face emoji shows raised eyebrows, wide eyes, and an open frown. It suits moments of distress, worry, disbelief, or emotional pain, especially when news feels difficult to process. The expression is stronger than a small frown but less theatrical than a screaming face. In casual chat it can also exaggerate a minor setback. Add direct words when the situation involves real danger, grief, or a request for help.

Why do emoji designs look different?
Unicode defines the emoji character or sequence, while each artwork set decides how it is drawn. That is why the same emoji can look different between devices, apps, and design systems.
