🫡 Saluting Face Emoji — Meaning & Usage
Smileys & People😊Positive📋 Copied 5.8K times
Description
Spot this face snapping a crisp military-style salute, added in Unicode 14.0 (2021). It immediately became the internet's way of saying "understood, I'm on it" or paying respects to something impressive. The tone can swing from genuine ("rest in peace 🫡") to playful ("boss said no more snacks in meetings 🫡") to sarcastic ("so you want me to work this weekend 🫡"). On Apple, the hand is more defined; on Google, it's slightly cartoon-ish. It filled a gap that 🙏 and 💪 couldn't quite cover — the "yes sir" energy.
When to Use
Use to show respect, acknowledge instructions, or indicate you're on it. Playful or serious respect.
Example Usage
- “Boss said finish by Friday, it'll be done by Thursday 🫡”
- “My grandpa served 30 years in the navy 🫡”
- “You want me to pick up snacks AND drinks? Say no more 🫡”
