What the 😉 emoji means

One eye closed, mouth in a small smile. A wink: a joke, a hint, a shared understanding.

The riskiest of the friendly faces. It can come across as flirtatious where none was meant, so in work chats it is best left alone.

Chat examples

Will your readers see 😉

The symbol predates 2018, so every system in use today draws it. Safe for an email, a heading or a signature.

  • Apple always there
  • Google always there
  • Microsoft always there
  • Samsung always there

Checked against release descriptions on August 31, 2026. When new emoji reach devices.

Where the 😉 emoji is used

The 😉 smiley copies in one tap and pastes into a chat as text, not as a picture: it is a Unicode symbol, so it works the same in WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord and in a post caption. Every platform draws emoji its own way — below you can see how winking face is drawn in the open Noto, OpenMoji and Twemoji sets.

How the smiley looks on different platforms
