😍 Smiling Face with Heart-Eyes Emoji — Meaning & Usage
Smileys & People😊Positive📋 Copied 16.3K times
Description
Features a face with hearts for eyes and a big open smile, showing intense love or adoration. One of the original emoji from Japanese mobile carriers, it made the jump to Unicode 6.0 in 2010, and it ranks consistently in the top 5 most-used emoji across all platforms. People use it for everything from crushes to pizza — basically anything that sparks joy on a visceral level. Apple's version has a warm orange-yellow face with deep red hearts, while Samsung's older designs gave the hearts a pinkish tint that read as softer. Gen Z tends to reach for 🥺 or 🥰 instead, but 😍 remains the go-to across older demographics and non-Western markets. It's also the default reaction on Instagram when double-tapping a photo in DMs, which reinforced its association with visual admiration.
When to Use
Use when you love something, find someone attractive, or are obsessed with something.
Example Usage
- “Wait you painted that yourself?? 😍”
