What is 😂️ called?
😂️ is called the Face with tears of joy emoji.
Often called the crying laughing emoji, laughing with tears face or LOL emoji. Here the tears mean intense laughter, not sadness; compare 😢 Crying face.
What does 😂️ mean?
The face with tears of joy emoji means laughing so hard that tears appear. It is a familiar reaction to jokes, funny stories, memes, and friendly teasing, and normally communicates amusement rather than sadness.
It is stronger than 😆 Grinning squinting face but less physically exaggerated than 🤣 Rolling on the floor laughing. For actual sorrow, 😢 Crying face has a downturned expression instead of a wide smile.
One 😂 can mark a warm laugh; several in a row usually amplify the reaction or show that the sender is still laughing.
Other meanings
It may accompany embarrassment, an awkward mishap, or a “laughing through it” response to a minor problem. Tone can become mocking if it is aimed at someone rather than shared with them.
Example Usage
