😃Grinning Face With Big Eyes Emoji
😃 is the grinning face with big eyes emoji, U+1F603, one of 14 in the Smiling set. It arrived with Unicode 6.0 (2010) and is commonly used for awesome, big and eyes.
What 😃 grinning face with big eyes 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 awesome, big and eyes and files it under Smileys & Emotion → Smiling.
