Winking face with tongue

A wink plus a tongue: wild, joking and up for anything. It signals that the sender is clowning around or about to do something mischievous.

Fits party plans, silly selfies and over-the-top jokes. It carries more energy than 😛 and less chaos than 🤪, and it sometimes adds a flirty edge to a playful dare.
