About
The Pensive Face emoji (😔) is the visual equivalent of a heavy sigh—that downward glance that says you're processing disappointment, regret, or just the general weight of existence. It's the emoji you reach for when 'sad' feels too dramatic but you definitely need people to know you're not okay right now.
