At least in Mandarin 囧 is not a formal writen or speaking langeage. It is an internet slang, and it is also a misused term. Whatever the original meaning is, now we only use it as that character looks like a guy is make a face.

Example: Lets say you friend ask you out to watch a opera(or whatever) together, but on that day when he shows up, he shows up with only 1 ticket, right there you should feel 囧.

...It's pronounced as "Jiong" in Chinese, it's the older form of "炯", another way to write it is "冏", that word means "Bright" or "Brilliant", "炯炯有神" means someone's eyes are lively and sharp. the faceplam meaning of it come after someone notice the word resembles some one with shit face, and it's only used amount young peoples, if you go check dictionary, it will still address it as bright or brilliant.
