A pair of dark sunglasses. They stand for cool, summer, and an effortless bit of style.
People use them for sunny days, looking sharp, and a too cool to care mood. Shades on.
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 Shades emoji. In everyday chat most people just call it the shades 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.
