Meaning
A deeper, more definite frown than 🙁, rendered in the older typographic style. It expresses clear unhappiness, disappointment or disapproval — a sadness that has settled rather than passed through. Because of its plain black-and-white look on many platforms it carries a certain gravity, and people tend to reserve it for things that genuinely bother them rather than everyday grumbles. It is sincerity without theatrics.
How to use it
- They cancelled the whole thing ☹️
- Not how I hoped today would go ☹️
