Mouse face Emoji

Animals

A cartoonish, grey-faced mouse staring directly ahead with large, round ears and a small pink nose. It looks like a standard mascot character often found in children’s books or early computer games.

Usage Context

This emoji is the go-to choice for discussing small rodents, pets, or computer-related jokes. It is frequently used alongside the 🧀 to represent a mouse snacking or when someone wants to express that they are being quiet or 'mousey.'

History

Part of the original Japanese mobile phone sets, the mouse face was officially standardized in Unicode 6.0 in 2010. It serves as a digital nod to the ubiquitous mouse character design seen throughout mid-20th-century animation and early UI iconography.
