The 🥵 emoji, represented with the Unicode 1F975, is officially known as the
Hot Face emoji. It is not a combined Unicode, but a standalone one. The emoji depicts a face with furrowed eyebrows, a small open mouth, and beads of sweat dripping down its forehead. The face is red, indicating heat or a high temperature.
The primary and most common use of the 🥵 emoji is to express feelings of being overheated or hot. This could be due to physical exertion, high environmental temperatures, or even spicy food. It is often used in the context of weather discussions, fitness or exercise, and culinary experiences. On social media, it is frequently used to react to posts or images that are considered hot or intense.
Beyond its obvious uses, the 🥵 emoji can also be used to represent positive sentiments or affiliations. For instance, it can be used to express that someone is hot in the sense of being attractive or fashionable. It can also be used to show that one is working hard or burning up with passion for a cause or project.
The 🥵 emoji is quite popular, especially during the summer months or in regions with hot climates. It is also commonly used in discussions about climate change or global warming. The emoji does not have any specific cultural significance or associations with particular platforms or demographics.
Related emojis include the 😓 (Downcast Face with Sweat) and 😅 (Grinning Face with Sweat) emojis, which also depict faces with sweat but do not specifically indicate heat. The 🔥 (Fire) emoji is also related, as it symbolizes heat or intensity.
The 🥵 emoji is used across various social media platforms and messaging apps, including Snapchat and Instagram. In the context of these apps, it is often used to react to hot or
fire posts, such as impressive selfies, intense workout videos, or spicy food challenges.
