Goblin Emoji
What does the Goblin emoji mean?
This striking red mask represents a traditional Japanese tengu: a trickster figure from folklore. With a long, crooked nose, a bold moustache, bushy eyebrows and fierce, angry eyes, it evokes mischievous and sometimes malevolent characters. Tengu masks are widely used to symbolize evil, mischief, cruelty, or otherworldly, supernatural beings.
This emoji depicts a Japanese goblin mask and is rarely used in Russian-speaking communities. In Japan, it symbolizes a liar. The mask features an exaggerated long nose (like Pinocchio's) and a scowling expression — downturned mouth, furrowed brows, and narrowed eyes.
This face can indicate ugliness or anger. It's most often used to convey an intense level of frustration.
