Smiling Face with Tear Emoji 🥲

What 🥲 means

A combination emoji with the 🙂 Slightly Smiling Face emoji and the 💧 Droplet emoji. The teardrop could fall from either eye and on some platforms, the eyes are designed with a glisten in them.

The 🥲 Smiling Face With Tear emoji signifies a complicated emotion, tbh. It suggests feeling happy and tearful at the same time; which could be happy, grateful, and proud tears but also a way of saying I'm okay but also why don't you just kill me.

How and when to use it

If you just told you buddy about something stupid or terrible that you did and they reply with "It could've been worse", you could use 🥲 while responding to that atrocious message, like Thanks a lot, mate 🥲. You made me feel a lot better than I did.
You could also use 🥲 to show that you were touched by something that you witnessed on social media or something someone said. Like, "Awww. That's the sweetest thing you've ever told me 🥲".
If you're telling someone that you're okay when you're clearly not, 🥲 is the perfect emoji. The same applies even while posting a social media story or a post caption about it. For instance, "Smile, they said. Through all the pain, they said. Well, STFU 🥲".
Use 🥲 to express happy tears, a sigh of painful relief or even gratitude.
Laughing on the outside, but crying on the inside? 🥲 is the emoji you're looking for.
