😗️ Kissing face emoji

What is 😗️ called?

😗️ is called the Kissing face emoji.

What does 😗️ mean?

The kissing face emoji shows puckered lips offering a simple kiss. It can express affection, a gentle goodnight, appreciation, or a playful kiss without the extra heart shown by 😘 Face blowing a kiss.

Both eyes remain open, which gives it a more neutral or matter-of-fact expression than 😚 Kissing face with closed eyes and 😙 Kissing face with smiling eyes. In close relationships it can stand for a quick peck.

Because some platform designs resemble whistling, readers may interpret it differently when the surrounding message is not affectionate.

Other meanings

It can represent whistling, pretending innocence, or making a puckered “ooh” mouth. The same visual may therefore accompany a tune, an impressed reaction, or a coy change of subject.

Example Usage

Goodnight, see you in the morning 😗

Just casually walking past the dessert table 😗

More details

Its Unicode code point is U+1F617, and it has been available as an emoji since Emoji 1.0. Open eyes and the absence of a heart distinguish it from the other kissing-face designs.
