Did your friend just tell you they have been accepted for clown school? Or perhaps you saw a unicorn walk past your window? Either way, the face you pull in that situation likely mirrors this emoji. Therefore it’s perfect for very confusing situations. Let’s take a simple use case scenario; your friend is a passionate hater of sushi. Despite her distaste for raw fish however, she suggests going to a sushi restaurant for lunch. While you’re contemplating the fact that she may have a sudden love interest or an onset case of the crazies, you would likely use the confused face to express your puzzlement.

Confused Face was approved as part of Unicode 6.1 and later added to Emoji 1.0 in 2015. Unicode 6.1 was a small increment for emojis but did include some absolute classics including Anguished Face and Kissing Face.
