There seems to be a sick emoji for every occasion. For tummy bugs, we have the Vomiting Emoji. For sprains or injuries to the body, we have the Head Bandage Face. And for colds, fevers or the flu - we have the Face with Thermometer. If you are hauled up in bed unable to move through sickness and you have friends pestering you to go out - then you can simply use the face by itself to show that you are not feeling well followed by some comforting text. For example: Not tonight guys - full of the cold 🤒 You could also use the face in response to a friend that they are getting ill, subtly suggesting that they should get their sickness checked out.

Approved as part of Unicode 8.0 in 2015, this face was added to Emoji 1.0 in the same year.
