I almost exclusively use “👀” and “🤭” in suggestive ways

In Japanese, 🙄 doesn't mean eye rolling, rather it's another way to express thinking.

in my circles 👀 exclusively means "sneaky eyes", like, *I am doing something suspicious*

As a native English speaker I’ve never seen the “😇” emoji as innocent. It’s at least passive aggressive

In my work slack, 👀 often means “I’m looking into it” if someone reports a problem.

Unwell Rochelle :
I wonder if the 👀 thing relates to how we read—in the west, we read left to right, so if we’re looking to the left, it feels like something is “off” cuz it’s almost like we’re “looking” backwards; vs if you read right to left, the eyes facing left would align with where you just finished looking (I.e., the gaze started on the right and made it all the way to the left = the full field of view was taken in and “finished” looking)

Me and my friend use 🐙 as hugs and hearts. I think it started as a typo when one of us meant to type a heart emoji lmao

Bonke :
Young people still use XD in Poland, and it's considered outdated everywhere else, but we've been using it ironically. When you see polish people using it, it doesn't necessarily mean they're cringe millennials.

Didn't the eyes 👀 shift into an "oioi what do we have here?" kind of meaning?

I use 👀 to signify curiosity or nosiness, eg: friend: "guess who I just saw" me: "👀👀👀"

Andrew Šveikauskas :
Japanese people are emoji pioneers. the word emoji comes from there and before emojis were in Unicode the Japanese phone vendors had their own encodings.

“⛹️♋️” is one that my friend group uses because it’s funny in text to speech.
