That emoji is pretty versatile, from what I’ve seen it can resemble feeling melancholy, dead inside, exhausted, or a sarcastic “I’m fine”. But as with most emoji’s, it’s all about context clues to fully understand why it was chosen.
hmmph. clearly not an oataku.

It’s a flower
She loves me. Or…She loves me not.
Usually used in the context of something sad
In gen z, I see it mostly used as an ironic “this is sad”. It’s like how 😭 is used as a laughing emoji.
example:
“this guy really thinks that was tuff (cool) 🥀”
What? Why would anyone use a crying emoji as a laughing emoji when there are so many different laughing emojis to choose from? I’m starting to feel old…
“BRUH WHAT THE HELL WHY IS BRO COOKED 😭😭😭”
example
for me, it’s because the laugh emojis are like… ‘old person’ emojis.
I’m so happy I’m not gen z because that makes no sense whatsoever 😂🧔🏻♂️👴🏻
gen z here, this is closest to correct
ts pmo, go back to the algorithm 🥀🪫
