What ☺️ means

A calm, content smile with closed eyes and rosy cheeks. It conveys gentle happiness, modesty or being touched by kindness.

Feels soft and a little old-fashioned. People use it for thank-yous, polite warmth and quiet pride after a compliment.

It is close in meaning to 😊, and the two are often swapped; some people prefer ☺️ for a shyer, more bashful smile.
