Flags

A human brain, shown in pink on most platforms. Used to indicate thinking or the human mind.

On platforms such as TikTok an alternative&nbsp;meaning of this emoji is to represent &#39;giving head&#39; (<a href="/nsfw/">NSFW meanings</a>).

Brain

A yellow face with furrowed eyebrows looking upwards with thumb and index finger resting on its chin. Intended to show a person pondering or deep in thought.&nbsp;Often used to question or scorn something or someone,&nbsp;as if saying Hmm, I don&#39;t know about that. Tone varies, including earnest, playful, puzzled, skeptical, and mocking.

May be paired with <a href="/thought-balloon/">💭 Thought Balloon</a> or <a href="/light-bulb/">💡 Light Bulb</a> to represent&nbsp;thinking, (having) ideas, and learning.

Joins <a href="/hugging-face/">🤗&nbsp;Hugging Face</a>, <a href="/shushing-face/">🤫&nbsp;Shushing Face</a>, and <a href="/face-with-hand-over-mouth/">🤭&nbsp;Face With Hand Over Mouth</a> as one of the few smileys featuring a hand.

Thinking Face

A yellow face with an open&nbsp;mouth, the top of its head exploding in the shape of a brain-like mushroom cloud. A visual form of the expression mind blown, it&nbsp;may represent such emotions as shock, awe, amazement, and disbelief.

Apple&rsquo;s design features the same expression as its&nbsp;<a href="/frowning-face-with-open-mouth/">😦 Frowning Face With Open Mouth</a>.

Shocked Face with Exploding Head

A smiling yellow face with glasses, often with teeth showing, originally buck teeth on most platforms.

While this emoji is often used by people calling themselves nerds in a self-deprecating way, the nerdy glasses paired with buck teeth can, and often does, evoke anti-Asian stereotypes. The fact that the default color of emoji faces is yellow further pushes this emoji into racist &quot;<a href="https://hyperallergic.com/189200/asians-meet-new-yellow-emoji-with-frowny-face/">yellowface</a>&quot;&nbsp;territory.

Some platforms have redesigned nerd face&nbsp;over time to not have buck teeth, perhaps in acknowledgement of the harm this imagery&nbsp;may cause. Google, Facebook, WhatsApp, and JoyPixels <a href="/google/android-7.0/nerd-face/">originally</a> <a href="/facebook/2.0/nerd-face/">featured</a> <a href="/joypixels/4.0/nerd-face/">designs</a> with buck teeth but have since changed (or completely removed) the teeth on nerd face.

Apple, Twitter, Microsoft, Samsung, and other platforms still use designs for this emoji that include buck teeth.
