It’s one of eight new emojis that will appear on smartphones and computers in the next year. The others are a fingerprint, a purple splatter, a shovel, a harp, a leafless tree, the flag for the English Channel island Sark, and what is identified as “a root vegetable” (it looks like a beet).

The Unicode Consortium, the non-profit that oversees global emoji standards and new releases, approved the new emoji lineup this month. Various companies, such as Apple and Google, will come up with their own designs based on the official specifications, and they will be available on digital devices “over the next few months and throughout 2025,” the reference site Emojipedia said.
The exhausted emoji face was named the “most anticipated” emoji in the recent World Emoji Awards, receiving more than 60% of the vote. The splatter came in second, and the shovel third.
