U+1F976 "🥶" Freezing Face Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
🥶
U+1F976 "🥶" Freezing Face is a popular emoji depicting a blue tinted face with wide eyes, closed teeth or gritted expression, and often a small icicle hanging from its mouth or cheek. Approved in 2018 as part of Unicode 11.0, it visually conveys extreme cold, shivering, or being frozen either literally from low temperatures or metaphorically from shock, fear, or awkward social situations. Its icy blue coloring and pained, haggard features make it distinct from other cold weather symbols, and it is commonly used in texting, social media, and online communication to express discomfort with weather, chilling moments, or a sudden, awkward freeze in conversation.
