Eyeballs rolled up and to the side, that's the face with rolling eyes emoji, an animated 'ugh' in a single expression. It conveys boredom, sarcasm, disbelief, or irritation at something exasperating, the digital version of rolling your eyes at someone or something frustrating.
What 🙄 means
A yellow face with big eyes and rolled up eyeballs and the mouth here is a small, straight line. This emoji represents the universal 'Ugh' emotion with rolled-back and bored eyes.
The 🙄 Face With Rolling Eyes emoji suggests a sense of boredom, disinterest, sarcasm, irritation, frustration, and even building-up anger. While rolling our eyes back, in reality, can really piss the other person off, the same applies even over text too. So it's a great way to get back at someone.

Exasperation — “here we go again.” It can target the situation, a third party, or you; check what it's replying to before feeling attacked.

Dismissive “whatever” or a sarcasm marker. Between friends it's often an affectionate eye-roll at a predictably bad pun.

Annoyance or disbelief at something tiresome. Its intensity depends entirely on your relationship with the sender — it ranges from fond to genuinely fed up.
