Yawning face

Unicode U+1F971 · Emoji 12.0

U+1F971

Meaning

A face with closed eyes and a wide open mouth caught mid-yawn, sometimes with a hand raised politely in front of it.

It can mean sleepy, but it is just as often a cheeky way to say “boring”. Use it after a long lecture, when it is past bedtime, or to tease a friend’s never-ending story. Pair with 💤 or 😴. Example: “Third hour of this meeting and we’re still on slide two 🥱”.
