Comparison to Unicode emojis
TikTok's [proud] differs from standard Unicode emojis like 😏
(smirking face) or 😤 (face with steam from nose). The TikTok version features a
more cartoonish, dumpling-style design with a white face, black outline, smug smile, and
confident expression for emphasis. While Unicode emojis work across all platforms,
[proud] is exclusive to TikTok and only displays within the
app — outside TikTok, it shows as plain text.
Popular trends
The [proud] emoji appears in achievement showcases, "I told you so" videos,

Creator tip
Pair [proud] with empowering sounds for achievement content. Use it
