What is 🤒️ called?
🤒️ is called the Face with thermometer emoji.
Often called the fever face, sick face or thermometer face. The thermometer suggests a raised temperature, though the emoji does not provide a medical reading.
What does 🤒️ mean?
The face with thermometer emoji means fever, illness, feeling unwell, or checking a high temperature. It is a direct way to say “I am sick” or explain an absence.
The thermometer makes fever more specific than 😷 Face with medical mask, which can also represent prevention or pollution. 🤕 Face with head bandage points to injury rather than infection.
Use it for flu-like symptoms, calling in sick, concern about somebody’s temperature, or recommending rest and appropriate medical advice.
Other meanings
It may represent heat, recovery at home, caring for a sick person, or a general health check. The emoji is expressive rather than diagnostic and cannot indicate an actual temperature.
Example Usage
I have a fever and need to rest today 🤒
She is feeling unwell, so we are checking her temperature 🤒

Its Unicode code point is U+1F912, and it has been available as an emoji since Emoji 1.0. It represents a person with a thermometer, not the standalone 🌡️ Thermometer symbol.
