U+1F608 ยท emoji since 2015
The purple smiling devil is mischief with a plan. It's the face of pranks loading, revenge plotted in good fun, and flirty trouble.
Unlike the angry devil ๐ฟ, this one is having a wonderful time. Hard mode in MojiGrab challenges wears the same horns, for the record.
In texting, ๐ 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 ๐ is not really one of them.
Its official Unicode name is the Smiling Face with Horns emoji. In everyday chat most people just call it the smiling face with horns emoji or describe what it shows. Copy and paste it from the button at the top of this page.
The ๐ 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.
