😂Face With Tears Of Joy Emoji
😂 is the face with tears of joy emoji, U+1F602, one of 14 in the Smiling set. It arrived with Unicode 6.0 (2010) and is commonly used for crying, face and feels.
What 😂 face with tears of joy means
The default reaction set: acknowledgement, warmth, a laugh at something that was only mildly funny. These do most of the light social work in a chat. Tone has drifted, though - plenty of younger users read the plain 🙂 as clipped or passive-aggressive rather than friendly, so it now lands closer to a raised eyebrow than a smile.
Unicode tags this one crying, face and feels and files it under Smileys & Emotion → Smiling.
