hello:)
the character"囧",looks like a face with downcast eyes,right? it means feel a little blue or embarrassed.
now,the character use for fun. for example,when a friend give us a dry homour,we can show "囧" to him/her... hehe,that's my point:) chinese characters are so splendid..

i've found some materials about this character, and it turns out that this character's original meaning is "bright", but now people have assigned a new meaning to it, which is " embarrassing". like in this situation which happened on my team the other day: Sheed went for a defensive board and he didn't get it, instead, he tipped the ball in for the opposing team. you can say this play is very "囧".

it means embarrassing.when someone tells you a very funny even a little silly story,you could use 冏to express that kind of weird feeling.
