Description

that appears as a face with wide eyes and a dropped jaw when you

amazement, excitement, or sheer disbelief. It's
one of TikTok's 46 secret emojis that
only display within the TikTok app.

description, or DM. It automatically converts to the emoji when posted.

Meaning and usage
- express amazement: "
[wow]That’s mind-blowing!" to highlight astonishing moments - show excitement: "
[wow]Can’t believe this happened!" in reaction videos - convey disbelief: "

Comparison to Unicode emojis
TikTok's [wow] differs from standard Unicode emojis like 😲
(astonished face) or 🤯 (mind blown). The TikTok version features a more
cartoonish design with exaggerated wide eyes, a dropped jaw, and vibrant
colors for emphasis. While Unicode emojis work across all platforms,
[wow] is exclusive to TikTok and only displays within the app —
outside TikTok, it shows as plain text.
Popular trends
The [wow] emoji appears in reaction videos, talent showcases,
and surprising reveal content. Search "[wow]" on TikTok to see
it in compilations of jaw-dropping moments or awe-inspiring performances.
Creator tip
Pair [wow] with dramatic or energetic sound effects to amplify
exciting content. Use it in thumbnails or captions to spark curiosity and
engagement, but use sparingly to maintain impact. Combine with other secret
emojis like
[surprised] for dynamic, expressive storytelling.
