Frequently Asked Questions
What does the sweat drop on this face mean?
It comes from Japanese comic shorthand for awkwardness or strain, not from heat. Readers unfamiliar with that convention usually read the whole face as plain sadness instead.
What is the difference between ๐ฅ and ๐ข?
The crying face sheds a tear and is unambiguously sad. This one shows sweat and mixes relief with disappointment, which makes it better suited to a narrow escape than to grief.
Is ๐ฅ used as a general sad face?
Frequently, yes. The mixed original meaning has eroded in English-speaking use, and plenty of people treat it as a milder alternative to the crying faces.
