Winking Face emoji

What does 😉 mean?

😉 is a smiling face giving a wink with one eye.

It signals that something shouldn't be taken entirely at face value: a joke, a hint, a shared secret or a bit of flirting. Between friends it softens teasing. From someone you just met it can read as flirty, so it's worth a second thought before sending it to your boss.
