How to use slightly smiling face emoji

The almost duplicitous meaning behind this emoji means that it could be used in certain conflicts or arguments. Let’s say you have a friend and you are discussing going to the cinema. You suggest a film that you really want to see but your friend is being particularly stubborn about this other film. You could respond with: Okay 🙂 If your friend is particularly perceptive, then they should pick up that you are not overly happy with the situation, maybe convincing them to try and find an alternative solution. As a general warning, this could also turn into an argument if caution isn’t exercised. This emoji could also be an effective tool if trying to avoid conversation with someone; a simple Slight Smiling Face alone would be enough to suggest that you are not too interested in conversation.

History of the 🙂 emoji
