What does the What emoji mean?

The ultimate expression of pure, unadulterated confusion.

This emoji features a cropped, low-resolution face of a person looking directly into the camera with a blank, bewildered expression. It is a staple of Discord meme culture, used to signal that a message or situation is so baffling that no words can adequately describe the feeling.

When to use it

  • Reacting to a completely nonsensical chat message
  • Expressing total bewilderment at a strange take
  • Questioning someone's bizarre life choices in chat
  • Showing deep confusion during a heated debate
