Pleading Face emoji
Type :pleading: · #14 most-used emoji · Smileys & emotion
Unicode name Pleading Face · added in Emoji 11.0, 2018
What 🥺 means
The pleading face is the internet’s puppy eyes: asking sweetly, or being overwhelmed by something precious. "One more episode? 🥺" is its natural habitat.
If you are trying to read into it
The pleading face is asking for something sweetly, or reacting to something too precious to bear. It reads as affectionate rather than romantic in most contexts. It skews young: people who came to it later sometimes use it sincerely where younger senders mean it half as a joke, and that gap causes more confusion than the emoji itself.
