FAQ

What does the πŸ˜‰ wink emoji mean?

It usually signals a joke or an inside reference, like "just kidding" or "you know what I mean". Depending on context it can also read as flirting, so use it carefully at work.

What is the difference between πŸ˜‰ and 😜?

πŸ˜‰ just winks. 😜 winks while sticking its tongue out, so it feels sillier and more playful.

What is the difference between 😘 and 😚?

😘 blows a kiss with a little heart, so the affection is obvious. 😚 kisses with its eyes closed and feels a bit shyer.

Why do ;) and (^_-) look so different?

;) is the Western style you read with your head tilted to the left; (^_-) is a Japanese-style kaomoji you read straight on. Both mean a wink.
