U+1F626 "😦" Frowning Face with Open Mouth Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
😦
U+1F626 "😦" Frowning Face with Open Mouth is a single emoji that expresses a state of shock, worry, or intense discomfort, combining a visibly drooping mouth with wide, anxious eyes. Unlike its similar counterpart the "Face with Open Mouth" (U+1F62E), this character introduces a distinct downward curve to the lips, shifting the emotional tone from simple surprise to a more negative sentiment such as dread, deep concern, or helplessness. It is commonly used in digital communication to convey a moment of awkwardness, a sudden realization of bad news, or a quiet, understated alarm that does not escalate into outright panic.
