How it looks on your device
The glyph above is rendered by your own operating system or browser, so it may look slightly different on Windows, Android or iOS - that's normal, each platform ships its own emoji artwork for the same underlying character.
What it means
Streaming tears - but almost never literal sadness. In practice it mostly means "I am laughing so hard I am crying" or "this is too cute / too much for me". Context does all the work: a sad message plus 😭 is grief, a funny one is hysterics.
How people use it
- Laughing uncontrollably (the modern alternative to 😂)
- Being overwhelmed by something sweet or wholesome
- Dramatic, exaggerated distress ("I have to get up at 5am 😭")
- Actual sadness, when the text around it is clearly sad
Examples
- not the cat stealing his chair 😭
- my flight got cancelled 😭
- the puppy fell asleep in my shoe 😭😭
Often combined with
- 😭💀
- crying-laughing to the point of death
- 😭❤️
- overwhelmed with love
Good to know
If you want to convey real sadness unambiguously, 😢 (single tear) reads as more sincere than 😭.
