Person Frowning Emoji

Previously displayed with a gendered appearance, now shown as gender neutral on most platforms. The concept of a frowning person itself comes with some negative emotions of frustration, anger, and may be disappointment (to some extent). Also, this “Person Frowning” emoji serves as a visual representation of displeasure, sadness, and/or disapproval in the text-based communications that is written along with it. One important benefit of this emoji is that it allows users to express nuanced negative emotions that might otherwise be difficult to convey simply with words.

HISTORY:

The background and concept of conveying emotions through simple facial expressions pedates digital communication, with its roots deeply stuck with the emoticons like “:(”.

USES:

The “Person Frowning” emoji is gender-neutral, giving a clear sign that any person, whether men or women can use this to express their feelings and emotions. This emoji is also used to express disapproval or disagreement with either any statement or a particular situation. Very rarely but possibly, this emoji can also be used to show care, concern, and worry towards someone.
