To ask what people think this emoji indicates?

😊

That?

I have to tell you that EVERY time I see it I get irritated.

Smug...little smug face with it's "cute" blushing cheeks.

I want to drop kick it.

What do you think it conveys when you use it if you do?

Warm happiness

Happy face

Smug is 😌

It looks like it's just said "Pm you hun"

Erm....a smile! I use it like this:

I thought you were going to ask about the 🍆, tbh!

Contentment. I don't think I've ever used it but I might if I had some nice cheese on toast

THIS is a happy face Silvous

That one you did is also smug though.

Brutus I use that one too...you're not "using it like this" though. It's a completely different emoji.

is just a convivial smile!

Bleeding from the eyes

😏 is my favourite

Stealth I can't unsee it! Bleeding from the eyes! It's marginally less irritating now thanks!

Marmite that one looks a bit pervy.

I thought it was slightly embarrassed 😊

I am using it like that when I'm not on mumsnet! That's what I meant. I substitute the 😊 For the when talking to friends via text/Facebook.

I've got tons on my phone that I don't understand; what they're supposed to convey..? It would be so nice to have a little guide for autistic people who can't interpret all facial expressions!

I like the Mumsnet ones because they're all obvious and they include the expression name

I do wish there was an emoji equivalent for the following, though: and

Cute blushing

I'm with you OP - I find it vaguely irritating too. But that may be just my personality - 🙄 is top of my most frequently used list!

☺ = I'm happy

I think it looks like cute blushing face; maybe someone compliments you and you reply with ‘Thank you 😊’

It's warm happiness
😌 is smug

I do wish there was an emoji equivalent for the following, though: grin and hmm

I use 😁 and 😒 for those!
I have had the pleasure of using this one a few times as well 🤫!
