About this emoji

☺️ Smiling Face is an emoji in the Smileys & Emotion group, face affection subgroup, first released in Emoji 0.6 (2010). Emoji 0.6 is the label Unicode gives to characters that became emoji with Unicode 6.0 in 2010, before emoji had version numbers of their own.

CLDR, the Unicode project that supplies emoji names in many languages, gives it the English keywords face, happy, outlined, relaxed, smile and smiling; that is what emoji keyboards match when you search.

It is the character ☺ (U+263A WHITE SMILING FACE) followed by the variation selector U+FE0F, which asks for the colourful emoji style. Without the selector, many systems show a plain text symbol instead.
