It's pretty ambiguous like many smileys, but from my own experience and googling it just now, its most common usage is when you're being intentionally silly, sometimes to mean sarcasm.
But people define it differently. define it differently. For others, it's something more serious, kind of a cold attitude emoji or 'burning up with anger inside'

“I’m tired of you🙃” “Are you kidding?🙃” “Of course i’m not angry🙃”

My one friend who consistently uses it kind of does it in a context similar to the “This is fine” meme with the dog casually sitting at a table surrounded by flames. Like she’ll say something annoying that’s happening at work or in life and maybe end it with “kill me🙃” lmao.

CrazyGirl2 · Answer

An alternate alien dimension opened up by those damned Russians at the shopping mall! (Which, from what my mom tells me, was the worst possible nightmare in the ‘80s for any teenage girl! That the local mall was taken over by Russians!) oh, and the opening of a hell dimension too, I’m sure she meant that was bad too!
