🤯 is the exploding head emoji, U+1F92F, one of 12 in the Unwell set. It arrived with Emoji 5.0 (2017) and is commonly used for blown, explode and exploding.
What 🤯 exploding head means
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.
Unicode tags this one blown, explode and exploding and files it under Smileys & Emotion → Unwell.
