What 😉 means
The winking face emoji is a yellow winking face with a closed mouth curving into a smile. This emoji is a cute wink signifying one main theme; the 'you know what I'm talking about' theme.
It usually comes around with a light-hearted vibe, nothing too harsh or heavy. Although this emoji can come off as borderline creepy, it's usually interpreted with a pinch of salt.
How and when to use it
- If there's a second side to a story that only you and your buddy know but you don't want the others in the group to know, you can use 😉.
- You can use 😉 in a flirty, naughty, and casual way, but try to not be creepy with it (cause, it can get creepy).
- The wink can also be used as a signal of being up to some mischief.

What does 😉 mean from a girl?
Playful flirtation or “I'm only teasing.” It softens whatever it's attached to and hints there's a joke — or an invitation — between the lines.
What does 😉 mean from a guy?
A flirt marker or a conspiratorial “you know what I mean.” From someone you know, it's charming; from a stranger, it can tip into too-familiar fast — most people read it exactly that way.
What does 😉 mean in texting?
A shared secret, a joke you're both in on, or light flirting. It's one of the older tricks in the emoji book, so it lands best used sparingly.
