crying face

U+1F622 · Emoji 0.6 · Smileys & Emotion

Overview

Crying Face depicts a single tear sliding from one eye of an otherwise composed expression, which distinguishes it from the fully sobbing Loudly Crying Face. The character bears the code point U+1F622 and belongs to the face-concerned subgroup of Smileys & Emotion, part of the earliest standardized emoji set from 2015. Its meaning centers on quiet sadness, disappointment, or being genuinely moved by something poignant rather than open weeping. CLDR keywords such as cry, sad, tear, and miss reflect this restrained register of grief. Written as the shortcode :crying_face:, it recurs in messages about loss, longing, and bittersweet news. Most vendors render it as a yellow face with a subdued brow and mouth, so the lone blue tear carries the emotional weight.

A face with one tear falling from an eye. Used to express sadness, disappointment, or being touched by something moving.
