🤧Sneezing Face Emoji
🤧 is the sneezing face emoji, U+1F927, one of 12 in the Unwell set. It arrived with Emoji 3.0 (2016) and is commonly used for face, fever and flu.
What 🤧 sneezing face 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 face, fever and flu and files it under Smileys & Emotion → Unwell.
