U+1F47F · emoji since 2010
A purple imp with horns and a scowl, mischief turned grumpy. It is the angrier cousin of the smiling devil face, used for playful villain energy.
People send it for petty revenge plans, fake menace, and joking about being up to no good. Devilish but rarely serious.
In texting, 👿 does not carry a widely used hidden or slang meaning, so you can usually take it at face value. People send it just as it looks, to add a little visual touch or set the mood of a message. Only a handful of emoji have a separate texting code, and 👿 is not really one of them.
Its official Unicode name is the Angry Face with Horns emoji. In everyday chat most people just call it the angry face with horns emoji or describe what it shows. Copy and paste it from the button at the top of this page.
The 👿 leads off a short phrase, and the rest of the words are written in cipher, every letter disguised as another emoji. Tap decipher to reveal the whole line.
Or make your own cipher in the translator.
