A yellow face with small, open eyes and a large, round mouth, slack with surprise or shock, as if saying Wow! or Oh my! May convey such feelings as awe or disbelief, often milder or more ironic in tone than 😱 Face Screaming in Fear.

The “wow” emoji indicates shock. The �� reaction is a sign that you’re blown away by something. It’s like you’re throwing your arms up in the air and going “holy cow!”
