What is 🤕️ called?
🤕️ is called the Face with head-bandage emoji.
Often called the bandaged face, injured face or hurt face. These names describe a general injury; the artwork does not confirm head trauma or a particular diagnosis.
What does 🤕️ mean?
The face with head-bandage emoji represents an injury, pain, an accident, or recovery after medical treatment. It can update others that someone is hurt without describing the full incident.
The wrapped head makes injury more explicit than 🤒 Face with thermometer, which suggests illness or fever. 🩹 Adhesive bandage represents first aid itself rather than an injured facial expression.
Use it for a bump, fall, surgery recovery, headache after an accident, or emotional exaggeration after a difficult experience. Serious injuries still need clear words and medical help.
Other meanings
It may indicate feeling battered, accident-prone, mentally exhausted, or recovering from a setback. Humorous use can describe damage to pride as though it were a physical injury.
Example Usage
I slipped on the steps, but the doctor says I will be fine 🤕
Back home and resting after the procedure 🤕
