kiss mark
Definitions & examples
Can also mean self-confidence or sassโused at the end of a cheeky comment (โdonโt wait up for me ๐โ). Sometimes appears in beauty or makeup posts as a literal kiss mark.
In Japanese chats, ๐ tends to read as more comedic or exaggerated flirtation than genuine romanceโitโs something a friend might jokingly send after a compliment, closer to โmwah!โ than a real kiss.
๐ can come off as too forward or flirty if sent out of context, especially in professional or casual friendships. If you just want to show affection without romantic tone, use โค๏ธ or ๐ instead.
