What is 🤢️ called?
🤢️ is called the Nauseated face emoji.
Often called the nauseous face, queasy face or sick-green face. “Nauseated” means feeling as though you may vomit, while “nauseous” is the common conversational alternative.
What does 🤢️ mean?
The nauseated face emoji expresses queasiness, an upset stomach, illness, or strong disgust. Its green colour makes “I feel sick” clear before vomiting actually occurs.

Other meanings
It may represent food poisoning, morning sickness, a hangover, anxiety felt in the stomach, or being “sickened” by behaviour. It does not identify a medical cause.
Example Usage
The winding bus journey made me feel queasy 🤢
