U+1F643 · emoji since 2015
The upside down face is irony you can paste. It smiles, but the flip tells you something is off: this is fine, everything is great, ha ha help.
It's the go-to for gentle sarcasm, awkward situations, and chaos handled with a straight face. When a normal smile would be a lie but a frown is too dramatic, flip it.
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 Upside-Down Face emoji. In everyday chat most people just call it the upside-down face 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.
