U+1F62C · Emoji 1.0 · Smileys & Emotion
Overview
Bared, clenched teeth stretched into an awkward grin define Grimacing Face, an emoji of unease. The character is encoded at U+1F62C in the face-neutral-skeptical subgroup of Smileys & Emotion and belongs to emoji version 1.0 from 2015. It reacts to embarrassing, tense, or cringe-inducing situations, conveying nervous discomfort rather than a genuine smile. CLDR keywords such as awkward, awk, grimace, and even dentist reflect that strained tone. The shortcode is :grimacing_face:. The gritted, gapped teeth are its signature, separating it from true smiling faces; the mouth looks like a smile forced under pressure. Early vendor designs varied enough to cause cross-platform confusion, but the meaning has settled on awkwardness, and the emoji now regularly marks socially uncomfortable moments.
