Kiss mark Emoji

Smileys

A vibrant pair of red, pouty lips shown as a stylized lipstick-stained imprint. It represents a physical kiss left on a surface or the act of sending a romantic gesture.

Usage Context

Widely used in text messaging to signal affection, flirtation, or to sign off a message with a warm closing. It acts as a digital version of a handwritten note or a lipstick mark on a letter. Users often pair it with ❤️ or 😘 to amplify the romantic intent.

History

The kiss mark was officially added to Unicode in 2010 as part of Emoji 1.0. Its design draws from the long-standing cultural trope of the 'lipstick kiss' found in pop culture, cinema, and classic love letters, adapted for the digital era to bring a personal, human touch to screen-based communication.
