U+1F617 · emoji since 2015
The kissing face is a soft little peck, lips out, eyes calm. People send it to say goodnight, thank you, or just a friendly mwah without making it a whole thing.
It reads sweeter and more low key than the winking kiss. Good for family, friends, and anyone you want to send a gentle bit of affection to.
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 emoji. In everyday chat most people just call it the kissing 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.
