What is 🤨️ called?
🤨️ is called the Face with raised eyebrow emoji.
Often called the skeptical face, questioning face or raised-eyebrow face. The raised brow is a familiar nonverbal sign of doubt or scrutiny.
What does 🤨️ mean?
The face with raised eyebrow emoji conveys skepticism, suspicion, disbelief, or a questioning “really?” One lifted eyebrow suggests that a claim, excuse, or situation does not quite add up.
It is more directly doubtful than 🤔 Thinking face, which may simply be considering an idea. Compared with 😏 Smirking face, it looks less self-satisfied and more openly unconvinced.
Use it to challenge dubious information, react to an unlikely promise, or show mild disapproval without the stronger anger of a frowning face.
Other meanings
It can express curiosity, judgement, surprise, or being unimpressed. A friendly context may turn it into playful suspicion; a terse context can make it feel confrontational.
Example Usage
You finished the entire report in ten minutes? 🤨
That is not the reason you gave yesterday 🤨
