Detailed Introduction
The ☹️ emoji features a simple, frowning face with downturned eyes and mouth, clearly conveying feelings of sadness, disappointment, or worry. It is commonly used in digital communication to express low mood, concern, or disapproval. This version of the frowning face is more basic compared to the more detailed 😟 (worried face) or 😢 (crying face) emojis.
