What does ☺️ mean?

☺️ is a smiling face with closed eyes, rosy cheeks and a small, contented mouth. It started out as a black-and-white text symbol long before emojis existed, and it still shows up that way on some devices.

It means quiet happiness: touched, content, a little shy. It's calmer than 😊 and often reads as sweet or bashful, the face for 'aw, thank you' or a happy little sigh at the end of a good day.
