What it is and where it’s used: Disappointed Face is part of the Symbols family (block: Emoticons). If you need styled or decorative alternatives, try our Fancy Text tool to generate compatible text that works in most modern interfaces.
History & usage: DISAPPOINTED FACE depicts a feeling of disappointment in messages and interfaces. Use it in messaging to show regret after bad news or a canceled plan. It can signal dissatisfaction when a user action fails or when expectations are not met in an app or site. It also works in feedback or survey notes to convey discouragement in a concise, pictorial way. Because the meaning depends on context, pair it with clarifying text to avoid ambiguity in formal content. Appearance can vary across platforms, apps, and fonts, so colors and details may differ. For accessibility, ensure surrounding text conveys the intended meaning and use the emoji as a supplement, not a sole indicator. Cross‑platform support may differ, so provide text alternatives when needed.
Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+1F61E in many development tools or editors. Some operating systems provide a character viewer or input palette that lets you search by name or code and insert the glyph into documents.
Display and fallback: if you see an empty box (tofu) or a placeholder rectangle, the active font might not include this codepoint. Switching to a font with broader Unicode coverage or using a fallback font usually fixes the issue. On the web, ensure the page’s font stack includes a general‑purpose fallback.
