What does 😉 mean?
😉 adds a wink to a sentence: it signals a joke, a hint, or mild flirtation. It also softens a request or makes a statement sound confident and friendly.
Overused, it can feel dated or creepy, so most people reserve it for actual jokes and hints.
“I may have ordered dessert for both of us 😉”“You’ll find out tomorrow 😉”
