A whole bunch of new emoji were released on [EP05] Lovely Ladies DormitoryTuesday in iOS 12.1 — 158, to be precise. But there's one new smiley emoji in particular that people just can't figure out.
The new emoji's expression is a mix between a wink, a grimace, and a blush, and as a result people are questioning what emotion or feeling it's trying to convey.

"Can someone please explain this emoji to me," Twitter user 007dpz asked on Wednesday. A question that is being echoed throughout the platform.
Thanks to the relative vagueness of the emoji's expression, people have made some pretty humorous guesses at its true meaning, ranging from legit guesses to abstract comparisons.

Unicode, the non-profit organization that oversees the global standard for creating new emoji, describes the emoji as a "face-unwell."
Some of the keywords associated with the smiley, as listed on unicode's website are "dizzy," "intoxicated," "tipsy," and "woozy face." Basically, this emoji is kinda drunk, and it's not doing awesome.
I guess that makes sense? Though, it wouldn't be my first guess.
Thankfully, there's still a lot of room for interpretation with this fairly ambiguous smiley —which we look forward to exploiting in our future texts.
