U+1F917 · emoji since 2015
The hugging face reaches out with open hands to wrap you in a virtual hug. It's comfort, welcome, and excited affection rolled into one beaming expression.
Send it to someone having a rough day, to greet a newcomer, or when you wish you could be there in person. It's the emoji that closes the distance.
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 Hugging Face emoji. In everyday chat most people just call it the hugging face 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.
