Visual description

A round yellow face has closed crescent-shaped eyes and a broad white toothy grin. Many designs show the teeth as one rectangular white area; some divide the upper and lower rows.

The mouth is closed around the visible teeth rather than open like the other grinning faces. Platform designs vary the tooth lines, cheek shape, and eye curves.

⚠️ Emoji appearance varies by platform.
