Kiss Emoji

😘 Face blowing a kiss is the kiss emoji most people mean when they type the words: a wink, puckered lips and a small red heart flying out. It says "love you, bye", "thanks, you're the best" or "good night", and it is warm without being heavy, so it works for a partner, a parent or a close friend. 😚 Kissing face with closed eyes is the tender one, rosy cheeks and eyes shut, the kiss you give someone you are already close to. 😙 Kissing face with smiling eyes is lighter and happier, a cheerful peck, and 😗 kissing face, with plain open eyes and no heart, is so neutral that many people read it as whistling. If you mean a real kiss with 😗 or 😙, add ❤️ or 💋 so it is not taken as a tune.

💋 Kiss mark is a lipstick print, the emoji version of the X at the end of a letter: it stands for a kiss already given, and a row of them 💋💋💋 reads as XOXO. 😽 Kissing cat is the same pucker on a cat face, cute and a little silly, popular with cat people and for kissing someone's pet goodnight. 💏 Kiss is two people kissing with a heart between them, the one for couples, anniversaries and "we're together" posts. The three facial expressions and the kiss mark are among the oldest emoji: 😘 😚 💋 💏 😽 came into Unicode 6.0 in 2010 from the Japanese carrier sets, while 😗 and 😙 were added in Unicode 6.1 in 2012 to fill gaps in the face set.

Kiss emoji meaning from a girl or from a guy

The emoji means the same from anyone; what changes is how much weight it carries, and that depends on your relationship and on how that person texts in general. A kiss emoji from a girl who sends 😘 to all her friends is affection, not a confession, and the same goes for a guy who ends every message to his mum with it. The signal is in the change: someone who never uses kiss faces and suddenly signs off with 😘 is telling you something, and the longer the chat already was, the more it means. Read the whole message, not the one character.

There is still a rough ladder. 😘 is friendly-to-flirty and deniable. 😚 and 😙 are softer and usually mean closeness that already exists. 💋 and 🫦 are deliberately sensual and are rarely sent by accident; 😏😘 or 😈💋 leave no doubt that someone is flirting. 🥰 and 😍 next to a kiss turn it romantic, 🤗 or 😊 next to it keep it warm and platonic. If you get 😘 and want to answer in kind without going further, 🥰 or ❤️ returns the warmth; 😘😘 back raises it a step.

Lips emoji, biting lip and the kiss mark

👄 Mouth is a pair of glossy red lips, the lips emoji people search for. On its own it is flirty or about makeup; between two eyes it is 👁️👄👁️, the 2020 meme face for staring in disbelief, which has nothing to do with kissing. 🫦 Biting lip arrived in Emoji 14.0 in 2021 and was proposed to cover both nervous lip-biting and flirtation, but in practice it is almost always the second: it is the horniest emoji on the keyboard and best kept for someone who already likes you back. 👅 Tongue is cheeky and suggestive next to a kiss, and 💄 lipstick stands for getting ready, a date night look or the beauty side of a kiss mark.

💋 Kiss mark is drawn as red lipstick lips on every platform, which is why it also means lipstick, makeup and glamour, not only a kiss. A plain-text cousin exists: 🗢, the Lips pictograph from Unicode 7.0 (2014), inherited from the old Windows Wingdings and Webdings fonts; it renders as a small outline mouth in fonts that have it, and as a box in those that don't, so test it before putting it in a username.

Couple kiss, cat kiss and chef's kiss

💏 Kiss and 💑 couple with heart are the two couple emoji. On most keyboards you can pick a woman and man, two women or two men, each with its own skin tones, because the gender variants were added in Emoji 2.0 (2015) and the mixed skin-tone pairs in Emoji 13.1 (2020). 💏 is the kiss itself, 💑 the couple just being together; both are standard in anniversary posts, and 💏💍 or 💑💍 announces an engagement. 🫂 people hugging and 🤗 the hugging face are the next step down in intimacy and are what people send when a kiss would be too much.

Two kisses here are not about romance at all. 😽 kissing cat is the kiss as a cute animal would give it, and 🤌 pinched fingers has become the "chef's kiss" emoji: the gesture a cook makes after tasting something perfect, so 🤌😘 or 👨‍🍳🤌 means "flawless, no notes". The pinched fingers emoji was added in Emoji 13.0 (2020) as an Italian hand gesture meaning "what do you want?", and the chef's kiss reading grew on top of it.

Kiss emoji as text: XOXO, :-* and 1000 kisses

Before emoji, kisses were typed. X at the end of a letter has stood for a kiss in English for well over a century, O was later added for a hug, and XOXO is still how many people sign off; 💋 is its emoji twin, and 💋🤗 spells out the same thing. The ASCII kiss is :- or :, which many chat apps still turn into 😗 or 😘 automatically. In Japanese chat a kiss is written チュッ or ちゅ, and the Chinese character for kiss is 吻, which some people drop into bios as a quiet alternative to the emoji.

The searches for "kiss emoji 1000 times" and "kiss emoji text 100 times" are people who want a wall of 😘 to paste into a message. Copy the ten-kiss combo below and paste it as many times as you like; every messenger accepts it, though iMessage and WhatsApp shrink emoji to text size once a message holds more than a few. For a username or a game that blocks emoji, use the text hearts ♡ and ❥ with a kiss word, or a kaomoji like (づ￣ ³￣)づ or ( ˘ ³˘)♥, both of which draw the pucker with the ³ superscript three.
