U+1FAE3 · emoji since 2021
Hands over the face but one eye peeking through: this face cannot look, yet absolutely must. It's fear and curiosity holding hands.
Perfect for scary movie nights, checking exam results, and watching a friend text their crush. Brave enough to peek, smart enough to hide.
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 Face with Peeking Eye emoji. In everyday chat most people just call it the face with peeking eye 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.
