Description

The [smile] emoji on TikTok is a custom emoticon that appears as a round pink face with a subtle smile and eyes looking to the side when you type [smile] in square brackets. It conveys happiness, amusement, or a sense of playfulness. It's one of TikTok's 46 secret emojis that only display within the TikTok app.

How to use

Type [smile] in any TikTok comment, caption, video description, or DM. It automatically converts to the emoji when posted.

example: That was so fun [smile]

Meaning and usage

• express happiness: "[smile] Made my day!" to highlight joyful moments
• show amusement: "[smile] That's hilarious in a cute way" in light-hearted videos
• playful approval: "[smile] Nice one!" for appreciative comments
• subtle affection: "[smile] You're sweet" in friendly interactions
• light-hearted teasing: "[smile] Gotcha there"

Comparison to Unicode emojis

TikTok's [smile] differs from standard Unicode emojis like 😊 (smiling face with smiling eyes) or 😏 (smirking face). The TikTok version features a more cartoonish, round pink design with a subtle smile, side-glancing eyes, and softer tones for emphasis. While Unicode emojis work across all platforms, [smile] is exclusive to TikTok and only displays within the app — outside TikTok, it shows as plain text.

Popular trends

The [smile] emoji appears in feel-good videos, light-hearted skits, appreciation posts, and playful challenges. Search "[smile]" on TikTok to see it in happiness recaps and amusing content.

Creator tip

Pair [smile] with uplifting sounds for positive content. Use it in thumbnails to convey warmth or in duets responding to fun moments. Combine with other secret emojis like [happy] for engaging storytelling without overusing it.
