🥹 Face Holding Back Tears

Copy and paste this emoji: 🥹

Emoji Meaning

1

A yellow face with large, watery eyes and a slightly open mouth, teetering on the verge of tears. The tears look ready to fall. It can convey a mix of feelings — anger, sadness, anxiety, or pain — and is also often used to express gentle emotions like gratitude and heartfelt appreciation.

2

A round yellow face with wide, teary eyes and a small, bashful smile. Its eyebrows curve like parentheses and tilt downward. This emoji serves much the same purpose as the pleading face, so you can use it in similar situations.

Send it when youre asking for help, or to offer a heartfelt thanks in response to support or assistance.
