U+1F604 "😄" Smiling Face with Open Mouth and Smiling Eyes Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+1F604 "😄" Smiling Face with Open Mouth and Smiling Eyes is a widely used pictographic symbol in the emoji set that represents genuine happiness, joy, or amusement, with its wide open smile and upward curved eyes conveying hearty laughter or cheerful satisfaction. Originally approved as part of Unicode 6.0 in 2010 under the broader category of "Smileys & Emotion," it has become a staple in digital communication across platforms and operating systems, often employed to express positive reactions to funny or delightful news. The character is encoded in the Supplementary Multilingual Plane and is distinct from similar emoji due to its explicit combination of an open mouth and crinkled eyes, which together create a more exuberant expression than a simple smiling face. Displayed in yellow across most environments, it remains one of the most frequently used emoji globally for conveying unreserved cheer.
