Kissing face with closed eyes Emoji

Smileys

A yellow face with puckered lips, flushed cheeks, and closed eyes. The facial expression conveys a sweet, gentle kiss or a feeling of deep romantic affection.

Usage Context

This emoji is frequently used to sign off on messages to partners, friends, or family members to signal warmth and love. It feels more intimate and sentimental than the standard 😘 because the closed eyes suggest the sender is savoring the moment rather than just blowing a quick kiss.

History

Part of the expansion of facial expressions in Unicode 6.0 in 2010, this design stems from early emoticon culture where characters like :-* or :-x were used to represent physical gestures in text-based chats before graphic icons became the standard for digital communication.
