face with medical mask
This is a face wearing a mask because it's sick, often used when you have a cold. It also implies you're being careful not to spread germs to others.
Use this emoji when you have a cold or the flu, or when you're going to the hospital. It's a useful expression to simply let someone know you're not feeling well.
😷
It was originally an emoji for when you're sick, but now it's used in various ways. In Korea, it's also used to mean you're wearing a mask for protection on days with heavy fine dust or yellow dust.
After the COVID-19 pandemic, this emoji's meaning expanded globally. Beyond just being sick, it can represent public etiquette, or a passive attitude of not wanting to talk or wanting to hide oneself.
