What ๐Ÿซช means

A warped, stretched face, as if seen through a funhouse mirror. Its intended sense is feeling out of shape inside: panic, anxiety, shock or being overwhelmed.

It is a very new face, so there is no settled habit yet. Expect it for moments when someone feels shaken, exposed or physically off, such as feeling bloated or rattled by bad news.

Support is still rolling out, and many devices may show an empty box in its place.
