Squinting Face With Tongue 😝

This character squints its eyes shut while sticking out its tongue, creating an expression of exaggerated disgust, mockery, or over-the-top silliness. The bright red or pink tongue against the tight-eyed grimace is unmistakably goofy and deliberately unattractive.

People use it to react to something gross, nasty, or unpleasant—or to mockingly make fun of something in an exaggerated way. It's great for reactions to bad food, weird smells, unfortunate situations, or when you want to playfully roast someone or something. The vibe is deliberately unflattering, which is exactly the point.

You'll also see it used to express exaggerated annoyance or frustration, though always with a comedic bent. It reads more "this is ridiculous" than genuinely angry. It's perfect for siblings mocking each other, friends joking about questionable decisions, or reacting to truly terrible ideas.

One of the earliest playful emoji characters, this was approved as part of Unicode 6.0 in 2010 and included in Emoji 0.6. Its exaggerated, deliberately ugly expression has made it a staple for expressing theatrical disgust and mockery across generations of digital communication.
