What the 😢 emoji means

A face with a single tear on one cheek. Real sadness, but quiet — one tear, not a flood.

Sits between 😔 and 😭: heavier than disappointment, calmer than a breakdown. Often used sincerely rather than for effect.

Chat examples

Will your readers see 😢

The symbol predates 2018, so every system in use today draws it. Safe for an email, a heading or a signature.

  • Apple always there
  • Google always there
  • Microsoft always there
  • Samsung always there

Checked against release descriptions on August 31, 2026. When new emoji reach devices.

Where the 😢 emoji is used

The 😢 smiley copies in one tap and pastes into a chat as text, not as a picture: it is a Unicode symbol, so it works the same in WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord and in a post caption. Every platform draws emoji its own way — below you can see how crying face is drawn in the open Noto, OpenMoji and Twemoji sets.

How the smiley looks on different platforms

Only openly licensed emoji sets are shown. Artwork from Apple, Samsung and other closed platforms is not reproduced. Emoji fonts and image sets.
