😱 · Smileys & Emotion › Concerned faces · Emoji 0.6 (2010)
😱 is a pale face with its mouth wide open in a scream and both hands pressed to its cheeks. A lot of people see Edvard Munch's painting The Scream in it.
It's shock and alarm: something scary, a huge surprise, a dramatic 'oh no'. In practice it's mostly over-the-top reactions to everyday things, like a price tag, a spoiler or an exam date you'd forgotten.
