A theatrical mask, often showing a tragic or comedic face, but here specifically a single, stylized mask. It typically represents performing arts, drama, or theater.
There are different emoji meanings for performing arts in different cultures:

- East Asian culture
- Also recognized for theatrical arts, but specific traditional masks (like Noh or Kabuki) have their own distinct cultural meanings beyond this general emoji.
