Description

The [cry] emoji on TikTok is a custom emoticon that appears as a crying face with tears streaming down when you type [cry] in square brackets. It conveys sadness, heartbreak, or emotional distress. It's one of TikTok's 46 secret emojis that only display within the TikTok app.

How to use

Type [cry] in any TikTok comment, caption, video description, or DM. It automatically converts to the emoji when posted.

example: This movie ending broke me [cry]

Meaning and usage

• express sadness: "[cry] This is so heartbreaking!" to highlight emotional moments
• emotional reaction: "[cry] Tears every time!" in touching stories
• sympathy: "[cry] I'm so sorry for your loss" for supportive comments
• dramatic exaggeration: "[cry] When your favorite show ends!" in fan content
• personal venting: "[cry] Rough day today"

Comparison to Unicode emojis

TikTok's [cry] differs from standard Unicode emojis like 😢 (crying face) or 😭 (loudly crying face). The TikTok version features a more cartoonish, simplified design with exaggerated tears, puffy eyes, and softer tones for emphasis. While Unicode emojis work across all platforms, [cry] is exclusive to TikTok and only displays within the app — outside TikTok, it shows as plain text.

Popular trends

The [cry] emoji appears in emotional storytelling, heartbreak challenges, reaction videos to sad songs, and personal vlogs. Search "[cry]" on TikTok to see it in tear-jerker recaps and empathetic content.

Creator tip

Pair [cry] with melancholic sounds for emotional content. Use it in thumbnails to evoke sympathy or in duets responding to sad stories. Combine with other secret emojis like [sad] for nuanced storytelling without overusing it.
