What is 😥️ called?
😥️ is called the Sad but relieved face emoji.
Sometimes called the bittersweet face or relieved sweat face. It is occasionally mislabelled as a crying face, although its blue drop represents anxious sweat rather than an ordinary tear.
What does 😥️ mean?
😥 expresses sadness mixed with relief: a difficult, tense, or disappointing moment has passed, but the feeling has not completely lifted. It suits bittersweet endings, narrow escapes, and the exhausted “whew” after worrying.
The blue drop is normally read as sweat rather than a tear. That detail separates it from 😢 Crying face and gives the face its combination of anxiety, disappointment, and relief.
Other meanings
Bittersweet relief after bad news, a close call, a stressful deadline, or an emotionally complicated goodbye. It can also communicate nervous exhaustion or a subdued “that was close.”
Example Usage
The test was awful, but at least it is finally over 😥
We missed the storm by ten minutes—what a relief 😥
More details
Officially named sad but relieved face. Its code point is U+1F625, and this project records it from Emoji 1.0. Use it for mixed sadness and relief; use 😌 Relieved face for calm contentment without the sad expression.
Visual description
A yellow face with raised brows, downcast or closed eyes, a small frown, and one blue bead of sweat near the side of the forehead.
Platform artwork varies, but the drop sits high enough to suggest nervous sweat. The expression is gentler and less openly tearful than 😢 Crying face.
⚠️ Emoji appearance varies by platform.
