Also known as: cold face, freezing, blue, icy, freezing cold, left on read
The Cold Face (🥶) emoji shows a blue, shivering face with icicles hanging from its jaw. It represents extreme cold, being frozen, or metaphorically being ignored (the cold shoulder).
Literal: Waiting for the bus in January. Figurative: He left me on read. In sports, 🥶 also means someone is ice cold in a positive way — calm under pressure, clutch. The icicles are the key visual that distinguish this from simply being unhappy.
