Person Pouting

A person with a pouting expression, eyebrows angled downward and lips pursed in displeasure.

The 🙎 Person Pouting emoji expresses annoyance, frustration, sulking, or passive-aggressive discontent. It’s a visual stand-in for someone being upset but not verbally expressing it—body language doing the talking.

Available in gender-neutral (🙎), male (🙎‍♂️), and female (🙎‍♀️) variants, this emoji is often used in texts or posts when someone is feeling ignored, overlooked, or disappointed. It’s also common in playful banter, especially when pretending to be stubborn or difficult.

Younger users may use it dramatically or humorously, while older users might stick to more direct meanings of sulking or “moodiness.”
