08 โ€” In conversation

What ๐Ÿ™Ž means from a girl or a guy

Same emoji, different intent depending on who sent it and what came before.

From a girl
When a girl sends you the ๐Ÿ™Ž emoji, sheโ€™s usually expressing disappointment or frustration, often about something small. Itโ€™s frequently used when she feels a bit ignored or treated unfairly, or simply when sheโ€™s feeling a little pouty.
From a guy
A guy sending the ๐Ÿ™Ž emoji typically means he's also feeling a bit frustrated or disappointed. It can indicate heโ€™s annoyed about something, or just wants to express a grumpy mood. It's not always serious, though โ€“ sometimes it's just a lighthearted way to show heโ€™s not feeling great.
How to reply
If someone sends you ๐Ÿ™Ž, you could reply with: โ€œAw man, sorry to hear that ๐Ÿ™โ€, โ€œUgh, that sucks ๐Ÿ˜ โ€, โ€œDonโ€™t worry, weโ€™ll fix it ๐Ÿ’ชโ€, or โ€œSeriously?! ๐Ÿ˜คโ€.
Used in a sentence

09 โ€” Around the world

What ๐Ÿ™Ž means in other countries

The gender-neutral default gets used less for real sulking and more as a stand-in duck-face pose when no gendered version fits.

Changes meaning depending on where you are
group chats

picked as the neutral option to avoid pinning a gender to the joke

selfie captions

stands in for a pouty-lips photo pose rather than actual upset

cross-platform rendering

the pucker looks more pronounced on some phones, reading as more sarcastic there

Before you send it: Use it for a light, joking sulk; for genuine annoyance a plain ๐Ÿ˜• reads clearer and avoids the mixed signal.

10 โ€” Apps

What ๐Ÿ™Ž means on TikTok, WhatsApp and Discord

One code point, several readings โ€” where the person pouting lands changes how it is taken.

TikTok & Instagram
Generally, it means someone is feeling a little pouty โ€“ like theyโ€™re unhappy or annoyed. People use it in texts to show theyโ€™re not thrilled about something thatโ€™s happened. In comments and captions it is read the same way โ€” the tone comes from what it sits next to.
WhatsApp
WhatsApp draws ๐Ÿ™Ž with Apple-style artwork on every phone, so it looks identical for both sides, and holding it lets you pick a skin tone. A message with only ๐Ÿ™Ž in it is shown enlarged.
Discord & Slack
Both accept the shortcode :person_with_pouting_face:. Discord renders Twemoji, so ๐Ÿ™Ž looks different there than on your phone.
Outlook & email
Outlook has no emoji picker on desktop โ€” press Win + . or Control + Command + Space inside the message body, or paste ๐Ÿ™Ž from the copy button above.

Where the ๐Ÿ™Ž Person Pouting emoji came from

This one is older than Unicode emoji: Japanese carriers were drawing it on their handsets years before the standard existed, which it finally joined in 2010.

Same character every time โ€” U+1F64E never changed. Only the drawing did, and only because each vendor redraws its own set. Someone on an older phone still sees the older picture.

1997โ€“2008
Japanese carrier phones

Long before Unicode had emoji, Japanese carriers shipped their own picture sets. ๐Ÿ™Ž existed there as NTT DoCoMo E6F1, KDDI au EB88. Those codes are why it survived into the standard at all โ€” Unicode had to keep Japanese messages readable.

2010
Added to the standard

Person Pouting was approved as U+1F64E and shipped in Emoji 0.6 (2010). Emoji 0.6 is the original 2010 batch that came over from the Japanese sets.

Today
Drawn 9 different ways

Every vendor keeps its own artwork, so ๐Ÿ™Ž is redrawn by Apple, Google, Twitter / X, Facebook, OpenMoji, Samsung, Microsoft, WhatsApp, JoyPixels. The character you send never changes โ€” only the picture does.
