🫠 Melting Face Emoji

Emoji meaning

While some emojis represent traditional symbols that pre-date the Internet, the Melting Face emoji is a relatively newer addition to the emoji library. The Melting Face emoji is usually illustrated as a standard Smiley Face emoji melting into a liquid or puddle, but only midway through the transformation to keep the face recognizable.

Made popular during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Melting Face emoji is most commonly used to represent being worn down or “melted” by events that are tough to manage or experience. However, the melting smiley face meaning has become more complex since its addition to the emoji library. Some use the Melting Face emoji to indicate the effects of climate change (or simply a very hot day), while others use it to represent being overwhelmed by everyday events. While most major apps and platforms use the name Melting Face emoji, some platforms may list it as the Melting emoji or the Liquid Face emoji.

Also called:

• Liquid Face
• Puddle Face
