What is 😅️ called?

😅️ is called the Grinning face with sweat emoji.

Often called the nervous smile, sweat smile or phew face because its grin and single sweat drop combine relief with stress.

What does 😅️ mean?

The grinning face with sweat emoji expresses nervous relief, awkward laughter, or the feeling of narrowly avoiding a problem. It often translates naturally as “phew,” especially after stress, a close call, or a difficult task.

The smile is similar to 😄 Grinning face with smiling eyes, but the sweat drop adds pressure or embarrassment. 😰 Anxious face with sweat is openly worried, while 😬 Grimacing face shows tension without the relieved smile.

It can keep a confession or minor mishap light: the situation was uncomfortable, but the sender can laugh about it now.

Other meanings

The sweat drop can indicate heat, exercise, hard work, or trying to stay positive under pressure. In a social message it may signal a nervous smile rather than physical perspiration.

Example Usage

I sent the file with one minute to spare 😅

I thought I had lost my keys, but they were in my pocket 😅

More details

Its Unicode code point is U+1F605, and it has been available as an emoji since Emoji 1.0. The single sweat drop is the feature that separates it from the otherwise similar happy grinning faces.
