What Does Mean?

The confounded face emoji has squeezed-shut eyes and an uneven, crumpled mouth. It expresses frustration, mental overload, discomfort, or the effort of dealing with something unpleasant. It can fit a confusing problem, an awkward mistake, a bitter taste, or a task that is testing your patience. The expression does not clearly separate anger from physical discomfort, so a few nearby words help readers understand what caused the reaction.

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.
