U+1F61A · emoji since 2010
This kissing face puckers up with eyes gently shut. It sends a soft, sincere kiss, sweeter and shyer than the winking blowing-a-kiss version.
It suits goodnight texts, thank you notes, and affection for friends and family where the vibe is warm rather than flirty.
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 Kissing Face with Closed Eyes emoji. In everyday chat most people just call it the kissing face with closed eyes 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.
