Used when you’re shy, flustered, or pretending not to see something awkward. It’s a mix of embarrassment and cuteness — like saying “don’t look at me!” or “omg stoppp 😳.”
Your crush compliments your selfie out of nowhere.
Ahh stoppp 🙈 you’re making me blush 😭
Also used to soften an admission — “I totally stalked his profile 🙈.”
In Filipino chats, 🙈 is common in kilig moments (that fluttery, romantic excitement). It signals bashful joy, like covering your face while smiling.
Overusing 🙈 in serious topics can make you sound unserious or overly flirty; best for casual or affectionate conversations.

Both show a face trying to hide from something, though one covers eyes with hands while the other peeks through fingers. 🙈 signals playful embarrassment and faux modesty, a coy refusal to look that reads cute and sheepish. 🫣 carries more tension and curiosity, an anxious fascination that keeps attention half concealed. The tone of 🫣 leans toward nervous intrigue, less purely adorable and more self conscious. It feels like cautious suspense rather than charming denial, and it suggests a conflicted urge to watch despite feeling exposed.
You might send 🙈 when you’re blushing over a compliment or pretending not to see an awkward message; it reads as coy and bashful. You might send 🫣 when you’re anxious yet intrigued about gossip or a suspenseful reveal; it reads as nervous curiosity, so use it to show you’re peeking despite yourself.
