U+263A U+FE0F · Emoji 0.6 · Smileys & Emotion
Overview
One of the oldest characters to gain emoji styling, Smiling Face derives from an earlier white smiling face symbol and is encoded at the sequence U+263A U+FE0F, where the variation selector requests the colorful form. Standardized within Unicode 6.0 and Emoji 0.6 in 2015, it renders as a simple outlined smile with rosy cheeks in the face-affection subcategory of Smileys & Emotion. Its minimal, classic design conveys quiet contentment, friendliness, or gentle happiness, giving it a softer, more old-fashioned feel than the fuller color faces. Without the FE0F selector some systems show a monochrome glyph, and it carries no skin-tone modifier.
A simple, classic warm smile with rosy cheeks. Used to express contentment, friendliness, or gentle happiness.
