What ๐Ÿ˜ฏ means

The tone is soft and curious rather than shocked. It fits news that is unexpected but not dramatic, like learning a small fact or hearing light gossip. It is milder than ๐Ÿ˜ฎ, which has a bigger open mouth, and much milder than ๐Ÿ˜ฒ or ๐Ÿ˜ฑ, which show strong shock. The "hushed" name points to a silent reaction, so it can also mean you are speechless for a moment. Some people use it to look impressed, as in "oh, nice." It can be sincere or lightly teasing depending on the message.

In texting

It usually means "oh really" or "I didn't know that." It is a gentle way to react to news without much drama.

From a girl or a guy
