😾Pouting Cat Emoji
😾 is the pouting cat emoji, U+1F63E, one of 9 in the Cat Faces set. It arrived with Unicode 6.0 (2010) and is commonly used for animal, cat and face.
What 😾 pouting cat means
Nine cats mirroring the human smileys, joy, love, smugness, shock and misery included. They came in with the original 2010 Unicode emoji set, inherited from Japanese phone carriers, and are mostly used now for cat owners, for softening a message, or as a cuter substitute when the human face would feel too direct.
Unicode tags this one animal, cat and face and files it under Smileys & Emotion → Cat Faces.
