Lying face Emoji

Smileys

A yellow face featuring wide, darting eyes, raised eyebrows, and a distinctively long, wooden nose. The design is a clear visual nod to the classic children's story character Pinocchio, whose nose grows whenever he tells a lie.

Usage Context

Used to call out someone for being dishonest or to jokingly acknowledge that a statement is a fabrication. It is frequently sent as a sarcastic retort during arguments or when someone shares an unbelievable story, often appearing alongside emojis like 🤥 or 🤡 to mock a person's lack of credibility.

History

Added to the Unicode standard in 2016 as part of Emoji 3.0, the lying face was created to provide a specific, recognizable way to flag deception in text-based digital communication, where tone is often difficult to gauge.
