The Dotted Line Face emoji (🫥) comes from the Smileys & Emotion set and represents dotted line face. It is used to add visual context and emotional nuance where plain text alone would feel flat. Unicode maps this character to U+1FAE5 and it first shipped in Emoji 15.0 (2022). The code point ensures the same underlying meaning even though visual art varies by vendor. Because tone is hard to convey in plain text, this emoji functions as digital body language. It is often paired with greetings, apologies, thanks, or reactions to add empathy and reduce friction in fast-moving conversations. On Apple, Google, Samsung, Microsoft and other vendors the artwork differs slightly — colour palette, shading, and line weight change — but the core concept of dotted line face stays identical, so the emoji remains universally readable. You can copy this emoji as the character itself (🫥), as an HTML entity (🫥), or as a shortcode (:dotted-line-face:) for platforms like Slack, Discord, and GitHub.
This detailed meaning was written by the UseEmoji editorial team after reviewing Unicode CLDR data and real-world usage. For quick identification, think of this emoji as shorthand for dotted line face — it conveys that idea faster than words while keeping the message friendly and scannable.
