Smirking face Emoji
Smileys
A yellow face featuring a half-smile, narrowed eyes, and raised eyebrows. It conveys a knowing, slightly mischievous, or self-satisfied expression.
Usage Context
This face is the go-to for delivering a sarcastic jab, signaling a secret, or initiating a flirtatious conversation.

It is frequently used alongside 😉 to double down on an inside joke or to imply that there is more to the story.
History
Added to the Unicode standard in 2010, the smirk became an instant staple of digital communication.
