What is 🫡️ called?
🫡️ is called the Saluting face emoji.
Also known as the salute face, respect face or acknowledgement face. The gesture can be formal, but online it often serves as a concise “understood.”
What does 🫡️ mean?
The saluting face emoji expresses respect, acknowledgement, duty, or “understood.” It can confirm an instruction, honour someone’s work, or give a formal-looking farewell.
The salute connects it with service and military contexts such as 🪖 Military helmet, but everyday messages often use it as an emphatic “yes,” “on it,” or “good luck.” It may be sincere, playful, or mock-formal.
Use it to recognize effort, accept a task, show solidarity, or signal that a message has been received and will be acted upon.
Other meanings
It can mean following orders, signing off, standing to attention, or facing a difficult task with determination. An ironic salute may acknowledge an inconvenient request while still agreeing to do it.
Example Usage

Respect to everyone who helped through the night 🫡

Visual description
A round yellow face raises one hand to its forehead in a salute. The hand partly overlaps the upper face, and the expression is usually serious, calm, or gently smiling.
Platforms vary the hand angle, visible eye, eyebrow, and mouth, but all show the recognizable salute position.
⚠️ Emoji appearance varies by platform.
