Smirking Face 😏
😏 (U+1F60F) is a standard Unicode character that you can copy and paste anywhere text is accepted. This page provides a concise reference with safe tips, internal links, and practical guidance so you can use it reliably across apps and platforms.
What it is and where it’s used: Smirking Face is part of the Symbols family (block: Emoticons). If you need styled or decorative alternatives, try our Fancy Text tool to generate compatible text that works in most modern interfaces.
History & usage: The SMIRKING FACE depicts a cheeky, knowing smile. It can be used to show playful sarcasm in casual chats, to hint at flirtation or light banter, or to signal a sly or impressed reaction to a story or joke. In user interfaces, it may convey a lighthearted or self aware tone when feedback or status updates feel witty rather than formal. Designers should use it thoughtfully in UI and text so the intent is clear and not misread as hostility. If a platform lacks color emoji support, a monochrome or text‑style fallback may be shown. For accessibility, ensure surrounding text conveys the intended meaning and provide a descriptive label for assistive tech. Across platforms, appearance can vary by app and font, but the meaning remains understood with clear context.
Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+1F60F in many development tools or editors. Some operating systems provide a character viewer or input palette that lets you search by name or code and insert the glyph into documents.
Display and fallback: if you see an empty box (tofu) or a placeholder rectangle, the active font might not include this codepoint. Switching to a font with broader Unicode coverage or using a fallback font usually fixes the issue. On the web, ensure the page’s font stack includes a general‑purpose fallback.

Compatibility & troubleshooting

Web pages: ensure your CSS font stack includes a general fallback; avoid relying on images for common symbols to preserve accessibility and copyability.
