What is 🫣️ called?
🫣️ is called the Face with peeking eye emoji.
Also known as the peeking face, hiding face or shy-peek emoji. Its nickname comes directly from the single eye looking through the fingers.
What does 🫣️ mean?
The face with peeking eye emoji represents nervous curiosity, shy interest, suspense, or looking at something despite wanting to hide. It captures the feeling of “I cannot watch, but I have to look.”
Both hands cover most of the face while one eye peers through, combining the hiding gesture of 🙈 See no evil monkey with the embarrassed attention of 😳 Flushed face. It can be playful, frightened, or captivated.
Use it during a tense scene, an awkward reveal, a surprise result, or a conversation that is embarrassing but impossible to ignore.
Other meanings
It may suggest sneaking a look, waiting cautiously for danger to pass, being nosy, or feeling socially shy. In flirtatious messages it can convey bashful interest without making a direct statement.
Example Usage
Tell me when the scary part is over 🫣
I am checking the results one eye at a time 🫣

Visual description
A yellow face is mostly hidden behind two hands. One eye remains visible through a gap between the fingers while the other eye and much of the face are covered.
Platforms vary which eye peeks through, how widely the fingers spread, and whether the visible eye looks fearful, curious, or amused.
⚠️ Emoji appearance varies by platform.
