Tired Emoji Unicode, HTML and Shortcode Values
If you're building a website, app, or chat platform, you'll likely need the tired emoji in a specific code format. Here's a full reference.
Unicode code point
The tired emoji is officially registered as U+1FAE9, under the name "Face with Bags Under Eyes," added in Unicode Emoji 16.0.
HTML decimal code
For raw HTML, use the decimal entity: 🫩. This renders correctly in any modern browser without needing to paste the emoji character directly into your source file.
HTML hex code
The equivalent hexadecimal entity is 🫩, functionally identical to the decimal version — use whichever fits your codebase's conventions.
CSS content property
In a stylesheet, you can render the emoji using content: "\1fae9"; inside a pseudo-element, which is useful for icon-style usage without adding the character to your markup.
Shortcode format
Platforms like Slack and GitHub that support text shortcodes typically use :face_with_bags_under_eyes:, though exact shortcode support depends on the platform's emoji set and version.
JavaScript and JSON strings
When storing the emoji in a JSON string or JavaScript source file, you can use the escaped surrogate pair form or simply paste the UTF-8 character directly, as most modern editors and runtimes handle Unicode natively.
