What โ˜น๏ธ means

Unhappy or displeased, with a deeper frown than ๐Ÿ™.

Sent when news is bad or someone feels down, and as a reply to sad stories. It is still restrained, a frown rather than tears like ๐Ÿ˜ข, and some people pick it for a plainer, more serious tone than the cartoonish crying faces.
