Thirteen faces that carry a lot of sarcasm
Unicode 6.1 was a small follow-up to the foundational 6.0 release, adding thirteen emoji focused on subtle facial expressions. The smirking face ๐, the unamused face ๐ and the expressionless face ๐ came from this set. They are minor additions by count, but they filled a real gap: 6.0 had plenty of strong emotions and almost nothing for mild irritation or dry sarcasm.
