Face With Diagonal Mouth

A yellow face with a flat, diagonal mouth and neutral eyes, symbolizing uncertainty or indecision.

The Face with Diagonal Mouth emoji expresses a mix of emotions—uncertainty, hesitation, mild frustration, or an awkward “meh” reaction. It sits between 😐 and 😕, and is often used when something feels off, disappointing, or hard to respond to.

It’s a go-to emoji for situations that are uncomfortable, vaguely upsetting, or when someone is unsure how to feel. Think of it as the emoji equivalent of a “yikes” face or an internal sigh.

This emoji often appears in chats involving social awkwardness, minor regrets, or confusing vibes. It can also signal dry humor or passive-aggressive disbelief.
