Overview
Sad emojis cover disappointment, worry, crying and quiet collapse. The most used one, ๐ญ, is barely about sadness at all any more โ it does double duty as laughing-too-hard, which is why context decides everything here.
๐ฅบ is the other outlier: it started as pleading and is now mostly affectionate, used to soften a request rather than to express distress.
