U+1F624 ยท emoji since 2010
Steam from the nose reads two ways: frustration about to boil over, or fierce determination about to win. The same snort powers both.

In texting, ๐ค 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 ๐ค is not really one of them.
Its official Unicode name is the Face with Steam from Nose emoji. In everyday chat most people just call it the face with steam from nose emoji or describe what it shows. Copy and paste it from the button at the top of this page.
The ๐ค 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.
