A yellow face with&nbsp;open (non-smiling) eyes and a hand over the mouth, used to convey&nbsp;shock&nbsp;or surprise.

A disambiguation of&nbsp;<a href="/face-with-hand-over-mouth/">🤭&nbsp;Face with Hand Over Mouth</a> which appears to have smiling eyes on some platforms, and open/non-smiling eyes on others, <a href="https://blog.emojipedia.org/emojipedia-lookups-at-all-time-high/">creating confusion</a>.

Appearance is similar to <a href="/yawning-face/">🥱 Yawning Face</a>, though no mouth is visible.

Face with Open Eyes and Hand Over Mouth

14.0

A yellow face with eyes closed and mouth wide open covered by a hand. Captured mid-yawn, this may represent having insufficient sleep, or to imply boredom with a person or topic.

Not to be confused with&nbsp;<a href="/sleepy-face/">😪 Sleepy Face</a>&nbsp;or&nbsp;<a href="/sleeping-face/">😴 Sleeping Face</a>, which often convey actually being asleep, or&nbsp;<a href="/tired-face/">😫 Tired Face</a> which is tired as in &quot;fed up&quot;.

Yawning Face

A yellow face with a hand covering its mouth. Displays most often with&nbsp;smiling eyes and/or blushing cheeks, suggesting coy laughter or embarrassment, as if cheekily saying&nbsp;Oops! 

Prior to the release of <a href="/apple/ios-15.4/">iOS 15.4</a> in March 2022, Apple&#39;s design&nbsp;<a href="/apple/ios-11.1/face-with-hand-over-mouth/">featured</a> simple, open eyes, suggesting someone gasping Oh my! in serious surprise, shock, concern, or apology. This same update assigned Apple&#39;s original 🤭 design to <a href="/emoji-14.0/">Emoji 14.0</a>&#39;s new&nbsp;<a href="/face-with-open-eyes-and-hand-over-mouth/">🫢 Face with Open Eyes and Hand Over Mouth</a> emoji.

May be used to similar effect as <a href="/speak-no-evil-monkey/">🙊 Speak-No-Evil Monkey.</a>&nbsp;See also <a href="/zipper-mouth-face/">🤐&nbsp;Zipper-Mouth Face</a>.&nbsp;Joins <a href="/hugging-face/">🤗&nbsp;Hugging Face</a>, <a href="/thinking-face/">🤔&nbsp;Thinking Face</a>, and <a href="/shushing-face/">🤫&nbsp;Shushing Face</a> as one of the few smileys featuring hands.

Facebook&#39;s design <a href="/facebook/4.0/face-with-hand-over-mouth/">previously featured</a> open eyes, though an earlier version had&nbsp;<a href="/facebook/2.1/face-with-hand-over-mouth/">smiling eyes</a>&nbsp;like those in the vendor&#39;s current design.

Smiling Face with Smiling Eyes and Hand Covering Mouth

A yellow face screaming in fear, depicted by wide, white eyes, a long, open mouth, hands pressed on cheeks, and a pale&nbsp;blue forehead, as if it has lost its color. Its expression evokes Edvard Munch&rsquo;s iconic painting <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Scream">The Scream</a>.

While intended to represent horror and fright, it commonly conveys such feelings as shock, awe, disbelief, and intense excitement, as a screaming fan.

Samsung&rsquo;s design <a href="/samsung/touchwiz-7.1/face-screaming-in-fear/">previously featured</a> a <a href="/ghost/">ghost</a> flying from its mouth. <a href="/weary-cat/">🙀&nbsp;Weary Cat Face</a> bears a similar expression.

A yellow face with raised eyebrows, a small, closed mouth, wide, white eyes staring straight ahead, and blushing cheeks. Intended to depict such feelings as&nbsp;embarrassment, but meaning very widely varies. Other senses include flattery, surprise, disbelief, admiration, affection, and excitement.

Google&#39;s design <a href="/google/android-4.4/flushed-face/">previously featured</a> a more bashful expression and <a href="/samsung/touchwiz-7.0/flushed-face/">Samsung</a>, a more ashamed one.

Meaning widely varies, but commonly conveys such feelings as sadness, disappointment, fear, and anxiety. Similar to <a href="/sad-but-relieved-face/">😥&nbsp;Sad but Relieved Face</a>, but with a blue head and larger frown.

Not to be confused with <a href="/crying-face/">😢&nbsp;Crying Face</a>, <a href="/sleepy-face/">😪&nbsp;Sleepy Face</a>, or other emojis with tear or sweat droplets. <a href="/microsoft/windows-8.1/anxious-face-with-sweat/">Microsoft</a> and <a href="/samsung/touchwiz-7.1/anxious-face-with-sweat/">Samsung</a> previously featured smileys that appeared more excited in expression.

Similar to <a href="/hushed-face/">😯&nbsp;Hushed Face</a>, which features smaller eyes and mouth. Several earlier designs, <a href="/apple/ios-6.0/astonished-face/">including Apple&rsquo;s</a>, displayed X-shaped eyes, making the emoji resemble <a href="/dizzy-face/">😵&nbsp;Dizzy Face</a>. Google&rsquo;s design <a href="/google/android-7.0/astonished-face/">previously depicted</a> a wobbly expression, as if <a href="/woozy-face/">inebriated</a>.

Astonished Face

A yellow face with a frown and closed, downcast eyes, as if aching with sorrow or pain. May convey a variety of unhappy emotions, including disappointment, grief, stress, regret, and remorse.

Similar to <a href="/pensive-face/">😔&nbsp;Pensive Face</a>, but with a sadder, more hurt expression. Samsung&rsquo;s design <a href="/samsung/touchwiz-7.1/disappointed-face/">previously featured</a> an expression closer to <a href="/confused-face/">😕&nbsp;Confused Face</a>.

Disappointed Face

A yellow face with simple, open eyes and a flat, closed mouth. Intended to depict a neutral sentiment but often used to convey mild irritation and concern or a deadpan sense of humor.

Neutral Face

A yellow face with simple, open eyes and no mouth, as if at a loss for words. Meaning widely varies, but commonly conveys speechlessness, humility, and silence.&nbsp;May also convey moderately negative emotions, such as disappointment, frustration, or sadness.&nbsp;

Samsung&rsquo;s design <a href="/samsung/touchwiz-7.1/face-without-mouth/">previously featured</a> raised eyebrows and blushing cheeks.

Face Without Mouth

A muted yellow neutral face with a dotted or dashed outline.

An established comic book trope, dotted lines around a character can represent someone that is invisible or hidden. It can also represent smallness, submissiveness, isolation, and depression.

This emoji has the same expression&nbsp;as&nbsp;<a href="/neutral-face/">😐 Neutral Face</a>.

Dotted Line Face

A yellow face with small, open eyes, open frown, and raised eyebrows. Samsung&rsquo;s design shows upper teeth and tongue. Meaning widely varies, but may convey alarm, confusion, or sadness, as if gasping in shock or concern.

Bears the same eyes and mouth as <a href="/frowning-face-with-open-mouth/">😦&nbsp;Frowning Face With Open Mouth</a> on most platforms, but its eyebrows give it a more surprised expression.

Anguished Face

A face with small, open eyes, open frown, raised eyebrows, and a pale blue forehead, as if experiencing a <a href="/cold-face/">cold</a> flash.&nbsp;Samsung&rsquo;s design shows upper teeth and tongue.

While intended to represent fear (less intense than <a href="/face-screaming-in-fear/">😱&nbsp;Face Screaming in Fear</a>), it also conveys a wide variety of emotions, including feeling amazed, shocked, sad, upset, and <a href="/cold-face/">cold</a>. Bears the same expression as <a href="/anguished-face/">😧&nbsp;Anguished Face</a> on most platforms.

Fearful Face

A yellow face with small,&nbsp;open eyes and a large, round mouth, slack&nbsp;with&nbsp;surprise or shock, as if saying Wow! or Oh my! May convey such feelings as awe&nbsp;or disbelief, often milder or more ironic in tone&nbsp;than <a href="/face-screaming-in-fear/">😱&nbsp;Face Screaming in&nbsp;Fear</a>.

Face with Open Mouth

A yellow face with simple open eyes showing clenched teeth. May represent a range of negative or tense emotions, especially nervousness, embarrassment, or awkwardness (e.g., Eek!).

Resembled <a href="/beaming-face-with-smiling-eyes/">😁 Beaming Face With Smiling Eyes</a> on Apple iOS <a href="/apple/ios-8.3/beaming-face-with-smiling-eyes/">prior to 2016</a>. Apple&rsquo;s design for <a href="/cold-face/">🥶 Cold Face</a> features the same mouth. Samsung&#39;s design <a href="/samsung/touchwiz-7.1/grimacing-face/">previously featured</a> more puckered-looking lips.&nbsp;

On&nbsp;<a href="/snapchat/" title="👻 Snapchat Emoji &amp; Emoticon Meanings">Snapchat</a>, this&nbsp;emoji next to a contact denotes that you send the most snaps to the same person that they do., i.e.,&nbsp;you share a #1 Best Friend.

Grimacing Face

A yellow face with small, open eyes, raised eyebrows, and a small,&nbsp;open mouth, as if it has been hushed by concern or correction. Meaning widely varies, but its expression is commonly taken as surprise, embarrassment, or mild&nbsp;excitement.

Similar to <a href="/astonished-face/">😲&nbsp;Astonished Face</a>, which features larger eyes and mouth.&nbsp;Google <a href="/google/android-5.0/hushed-face/">previously interpreted</a> hushed as &quot;silenced,&quot;&nbsp;depicting&nbsp;the emoji with a <a href="/zipper-mouth-face/">zipper mouth</a> until <a href="/google/android-6.0.1/">Android 6.0.1</a>. An early&nbsp;Microsoft&nbsp;design <a href="/microsoft/windows-8.1/hushed-face/">featured</a> a face with closed eyes and a flat, closed mouth.

Hushed Face

The speak no evil monkey, called Iwazaru (Japanese for &ldquo;say not&rdquo;), one of the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_wise_monkeys">Three Wise Monkeys</a>. Depicted as the brown <a href="/monkey-face/">🐵 Monkey Face</a> with hands covering its mouth.

The Three Wise Monkeys represent the proverb see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil, frequently interpreted as&nbsp;a call for discretion or willful ignorance.

Often used as a playful way to convey I can&rsquo;t believe what I just said!, express a mischievous Oops!, or communicate a secret-keeping I won&rsquo;t say a word. May be used to similar effect as <a href="/face-with-hand-over-mouth/">🤭 Face With Hand Over Mouth</a> or <a href="/zipper-mouth-face/">🤐 Zipper Mouth</a>.

See also <a href="/see-no-evil-monkey/">🙈 See-No-Evil Monkey</a> and <a href="/hear-no-evil-monkey/">🙉 Hear-No-Evil Monkey</a>.

This emoji is considered <a href="https://blog.emojipedia.org/how-the-monkey-emoji-is-racist/">racist in some contexts</a>, particularly when used to disparage, insult, and abuse people with dark skin, especially Black people.

Speak-No-Evil Monkey

A yellow face placing an index finger over pursed lips, as if issuing Shh!&nbsp;or Shush! for silence. Some platforms feature raised eyebrows. Apple&rsquo;s design suggests the face is tilting back slightly.&nbsp;

May convey silence, quiet, secrecy, and discreetness. May also create a sense of buzz and anticipation, e.g., an exclusive sneak peek or news scoop.
