This is a powerful expression that can have great impact, especially if used for complaints. Let’s say you bought something from a shop and the product has already broken down. You could let off some steam via social media and mention the company with some text, finishing off with the Unamused Face. For example: Great job (insert company name) my toaster just blew up 😒 In the above example, you may have the remains of a toaster to clean up, but you have also delivered a sharp message. In arguments, this emoji is particularly effective too. Let’s say one of your friends starts questioning your choice of restaurant for dinner, even though they got to pick the last time. You could show your annoyance rather effectively with the face alone, potentially causing the restaurant hater to back down.

The Unamused Face was added as part of Unicode 6.0 and added to Emoji 1.0 - this was an iconic update for emojis which included the Beaming Face, Winking Face and the Smirking Face.
