🥶 Cold Face Emoji — Meaning & Usage
Smileys & People📋 Copied 31.5K times
Description
Rendered as a blue-tinted face with icicles hanging from the jaw and teeth chattering, added in Unicode 11.0 (2018) alongside its opposite, 🥵. Beyond literal cold weather complaints, people use this for emotional coldness — "the way she replied to that text 🥶" — or to hype something up as cool ("that new album is ice cold 🥶"). On Apple, the face has a distinctly blue hue with sharp icicles; Google's version is less dramatic. In hip-hop slang, "cold" means impressive, which gives this emoji a whole second life on music Twitter.
When to Use
Use when it's freezing, you're cold, or for ice-cold attitudes and situations.
Example Usage
- “Freezing out here 🥶”
- “Winter is brutal 🥶”
- “Turn up the heat 🥶”
