What is 😜️ called?
😜️ is called the Winking face with tongue emoji.
Often called the wink-with-tongue face, cheeky wink or just-kidding emoji. Its wink and tongue work together to make a teasing statement look deliberately unserious.
What does 😜️ mean?
The winking face with tongue emoji expresses cheeky humour, teasing, flirtation, or a clear “just kidding.” The wink adds a knowing signal while the tongue makes the message deliberately unserious.
It is more mischievous than 😛 Face with tongue and less wildly exaggerated than 🤪 Zany face. 😉 Winking face can carry a subtler hint without the childish tongue-out gesture.
Use it after playful bragging, a harmless trick, an outrageous suggestion, or friendly teasing that could otherwise be misread.
Other meanings
It may suggest breaking a small rule, getting away with something, or acting flirtatiously. In the wrong context it can seem mocking or rude, so familiarity with the recipient matters.
Example Usage
Of course I saved you some dessert 😜
I expect a trophy for doing the washing-up 😜
More details
Its Unicode code point is U+1F61C, and it has been available as an emoji since Emoji 1.0. Combining a wink with a tongue-out gesture makes its playful intent stronger than either feature alone.
Visual description
A round yellow face has one open eye, one eye closed in a wink, a broad smile, and a tongue sticking out. Some designs raise the eyebrow above the open eye.
Platforms vary which eye winks, whether teeth show, and the tongue’s position and colour.
⚠️ Emoji appearance varies by platform.
