What is 🥱️ called?
🥱️ is called the Yawning face emoji.
Often shortened to the yawn emoji or sleepy yawn face. It is also called the bored face when used figuratively, though its literal action is yawning.
What does 🥱️ mean?
🥱 depicts a yawn and directly communicates sleepiness, tiredness, or bedtime. It also conveys boredom, low enthusiasm, or a dismissive “this is not interesting” response.
Because yawning may be involuntary or pointedly rude, tone matters. In a goodnight message it is literal and friendly; under somebody’s long story it can sound sarcastic or insulting.
Other meanings
Needing a nap, staying up late, boredom, indifference, low energy, or signalling that a conversation has gone on too long.
Example Usage
I am heading to bed—goodnight 🥱
Another two-hour meeting with no decisions 🥱
More details
Officially named yawning face. Its code point is U+1F971, introduced in Emoji 12.0. The same design can mean tiredness or boredom, so surrounding text is important.

Visual description
A yellow face with closed or squinting eyes, an open yawning mouth, and one hand raised over or near the mouth.
The covering hand is its clearest identifying detail. It separates 🥱 from open-mouthed exhausted faces such as 😫 Tired face and from 😴 Sleeping face, which includes sleep symbols.
⚠️ Emoji appearance varies by platform.
