If a versatile emoji for hotness is what you need, then you’ll love the 🥵 (hot face) emoji! In this article, we’ll show you all the meanings of the 🥵 (hot face) emoji, plus how to use and respond to it to spice up your own texts and DMs. If you think you can take the heat, read on!
Things You Should Know
- The 🥵 (hot face) emoji means that someone is hot temperature-wise or they find someone else very attractive. It can also mean someone’s thirsty or stressed out.
- Use the emoji by itself or pair it with emojis like 🌡️ (thermometer) to show you’re hot, 💧 (droplet) if you’re thirsty, or 🔥 (fire) if you’re flirting.
- Reply with encouragement or offer a favor if someone sends you the hot face and says that they’re burning up or overwhelmed.
- Take 🥵 (hot face) as a clear sign someone is flirting with you if they open with a sly “hey” or comment on your appearance. Flirt back if you like (or not!).
