yawning face

This is the yawning face emoji, used when you're sleepy or tired. You can use it when you're really drowsy.

You can use it to say "good night" to a friend at night. It's also used to mean "I'm bored" during a boring class or conversation.

This emoji carries two core meanings: sleepiness and boredom. Depending on the context, it can be a signal for "I'm going to bed now" or it can mean "Your story is really boring."

Since yawning is contagious, seeing someone send this emoji can make you feel sleepy too. Be careful, as it can sometimes be used passive-aggressively to signal a desire to end the conversation, sent as the sole reply to a long story.
