๐Ÿ˜ฉ Weary Face is one of the original emojis. It was part of the first large emoji set added to Unicode 6.0 in 2010, which grew out of the emojis used on Japanese mobile phones. Its Unicode name has always been simply Weary Face, and it sits right next to ๐Ÿ˜ซ Tired Face, which looks almost the same.

๐Ÿ˜ฉ and ๐Ÿ˜ซ are often mixed up. ๐Ÿ˜ฉ Weary Face has softer, downturned eyes, while ๐Ÿ˜ซ Tired Face squeezes its eyes shut. Both mean exhausted, so either works.

On iPhone, iPad and Mac, ๐Ÿ˜ฉ shows a yellow face with eyebrows raised in distress and an open mouth. Other platforms look similar, but the expression can seem more sad or more tired.
