😕 Confused Face Emoji — Meaning & Usage
Smileys & People😢Negative📋 Copied 4.1K times
Description
This face with one eyebrow slightly raised, mouth turned down in a gentle frown — the classic "wait, I don't follow" expression. It's softer than 🤔 (actively thinking about it) and less dramatic than 😵 (completely lost). This is the emoji for reading a text twice and still not getting what the person meant. People also use it when they're mildly concerned but not sure enough to fully worry yet. On Apple, the mouth curves more distinctly; Google's version reads flatter and more neutral.
When to Use
Use when confused, puzzled, or trying to understand something that doesn't make sense.
Example Usage
- “I don't get it 😕”
- “Wait, what? 😕”
