What does 😁 mean?
😁 is the big genuine grin: you are delighted and not hiding it. It is used for good news, proud moments, and cheeky excitement (“guess who got tickets 😁”).
Compared with 😀 and 😃, the squinting eyes make it feel more heartfelt, and sometimes a little mischievous.
“First day at the new job tomorrow 😁”“Got the last slice 😁”
