What unwell emojis are used for
Illness, injury, and physical overwhelm, plus the ones people use metaphorically: 🤯 for astonishment, 🥵 for heat or attraction, 🤢 for disgust at an opinion rather than a smell. 😷 predates the pandemic by a decade - it comes from the Japanese habit of masking when you have a cold - but its usage climbed sharply from 2020.
