U+1F92C · emoji since 2017
The symbols over the mouth are a censored swear, which makes this the angriest face that's still safe for work. It's fury past the point of polite words.
Send it about traffic, referees, printers, and injustices large and small. Everyone knows exactly what the grawlix is hiding.
In texting, 🤬 does not carry a widely used hidden or slang meaning, so you can usually take it at face value. People send it just as it looks, to add a little visual touch or set the mood of a message. Only a handful of emoji have a separate texting code, and 🤬 is not really one of them.
Its official Unicode name is the Face with Symbols on Mouth emoji. In everyday chat most people just call it the face with symbols on mouth emoji or describe what it shows. Copy and paste it from the button at the top of this page.
The 🤬 leads off a short phrase, and the rest of the words are written in cipher, every letter disguised as another emoji. Tap decipher to reveal the whole line.
