Winking Face With Tongue 😜

A cheeky character winks one eye while sticking its tongue out playfully, combining mischief with flirtation. The casual confidence of the wink paired with the silly tongue creates the ultimate "I'm joking but also kind of not" energy.

This is your go-to for jokes with a flirty edge—the kind of humor that's a little cheeky or has a teasing undercurrent. People use it when they're being funny, making a suggestive comment, or ribbing someone in a way that's more fun than mean. It shows up constantly in banter between friends or romantic partners who like to keep things playful.

Unlike its straightforward cousin 😛, this one adds an extra layer of intention. The wink suggests you know what you're doing and you're enjoying yourself. It's useful for comments that are slightly inappropriate but totally in jest, or when you want to signal that your words shouldn't be taken at face value.

One of the original emoji characters, this design has remained largely consistent across platforms. It was approved as part of Unicode 6.0 in 2010 and became part of Emoji 0.6, making it one of the earliest playful emoticons to standardize across devices.
