Kissing Face with Closed Eyes Emoji 😚

The warmest of the three kissing faces is kissing face with closed eyes, an unhurried peck meant plainly rather than a playful whistle. Save it for a goodnight, a loving goodbye, or any message where the affection isn't a joke.

What 😚 means

Eyes closed all the way, not just crinkled in a smile — that's what separates it from its kissing-face cousins, and why it reads as the most sincere of the bunch.

It is very similar to the 😗 Kissing Face but the eyes here signify a little extra intimacy as compared to the former. A combination of the 😗 Kissing Face and the ☺️ Smiling Face, this emoji is used to show a little above-average level of affection and love.

How and when to use it

Use this emoji to express a little-above-average affection, but not romantic either.
This emoji can be a sweet option to use in familial conversations.
This emoji can also be used to show warm affection.

😚 in real conversations

What does 😚 mean from a girl?

A warm, contented kiss — closed eyes read as relaxed affection rather than a flirty pucker. It's common after good news, a compliment, or just signing off a sweet message.

What does 😚 mean from a guy?

Genuine warmth, often platonic — think a peck on the cheek from a friend or family member as much as a romantic one. The closed eyes take out any smirk.

What does 😚 mean in texting?

A content, easy kiss — happy and affectionate without trying to be sultry. It's the emoji for "aw, love you" rather than anything with an agenda.
