Distorted Face

The distorted-face icon represents a distorted face, used to convey confusion or distortion. This emoji is part of the Twemoji library, designed by Twitter.

The distorted-face icon can be used in various contexts, such as in chat applications, social media posts, or online forums, to represent distortion or confusion. For example, it can be used in a conversation about a confusing situation or a distorted image.

From a UX perspective, the distorted-face icon communicates a sense of confusion or distortion, helping users to quickly understand the context of a message or post. It can also be used to add a touch of personality or humor to a digital interface.

Distorted Face is one of 4,169 icons in Twitter Emoji, made by Twitter and released under CC BY 4.0. It is drawn on a 36 × 36 grid.

Sign in (it's free), then open Get icon, Install with shadcn CLI, and pick your package manager to copy the command. It adds DistortedFaceIcon to components/icons/twemoji-distorted-face.tsx: one file, a size prop (24 by default) and every SVG prop, with no icon package.

Copy it as React (from Get icon, or the Code section): a typed DistortedFaceIcon component you paste into your project, with no package to install. Only the icons you import reach your bundle. It works in Next.js and any React app.

Open Get icon, then Copy as code, and pick Vue, Svelte, Angular, Solid or Preact; the Code section shows each one too. Every version is one self-contained component with the SVG inside, and SVG and data URL copies are there for plain HTML and CSS.

With Pro, the shadcn.io MCP server lets Claude Code, Cursor or any MCP client find the Distorted Face icon, or any of 4,169 Twitter Emoji icons, and install it from a prompt.

It's multicolor, so it keeps its own colors.

Set width and height on the component, or a class like size-6. It's drawn on a 36 × 36 grid, so it stays sharp at any size. Customize also sets the size it exports at, its padding and rotation.

Next to a visible label it's decoration: add aria-hidden="true" so screen readers skip it. Standing alone, as in an icon button, give the button a name instead, like aria-label="Distorted Face", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. DistortedFaceIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <DistortedFaceIcon aria-hidden="true" /> works, and so do role="img" with aria-label, or a title child, when it carries meaning on its own.

Yes. Open Get icon, then Download file: SVG for code or design tools like Figma; PNG, WebP or JPEG at 512px; or an ICO favicon with 16, 32 and 48px inside. Each one uses what you set in Customize.
