Version Emoji 0.7

Meaning

A stylized face—typically round with closed or squinting eyes—blowing forcefully, with visible wind lines or cheeks puffed out. The design emphasizes the power and direction of wind, often rendered in blue or gray tones to reinforce the atmospheric element. Some versions show cheeks bulging dramatically, creating a cartoonish, comical effect.

Wind Face is used to describe blustery, windy conditions and is especially useful in regions prone to wind storms or strong gusts. People report windy weather, explain disheveled hair, or document getting blown around outdoors. It's practical for "the wind is insane today" messages and travel updates affected by wind conditions.

The humanized face design makes it slightly more playful than purely abstract weather symbols. Figuratively, it can suggest being swept up, overwhelmed, or blown away by circumstances. It's occasionally used humorously when someone's hair is a mess from wind or when describing someone who's overly talkative ("they won't stop blowing wind").

The emoji maintains consistent design across platforms—a face actively blowing. It's less common than rain or snow emoji but fills a genuine niche in weather communication. Approved as part of Unicode Emoji 0.7 in 2010, it rounds out the atmospheric weather collection with a distinctly personified character.

Common Uses

  • Reporting strong wind or blustery conditions
  • Describing messy hair from wind
  • Expressing feeling overwhelmed or swept along
  • Joking about being blown away by something
