What does the Grinning Squinting Face emoji mean?

A yellow face, bright and clear with a big grin showing the upper front teeth and X-shaped eyes. Use it to react to something hilariously absurd — it radiates playful silliness, energetic fun, enthusiasm, and pure joy.

A yellow face with a wide grin and eyes squeezed into horizontal Xs — often called "squinting with laughter." The big open mouth reveals the top row of teeth and a red tongue, conveying hearty, rolling laughter from the sender. This emoji isn’t only used for a great joke or a strange situation; many people also pick it to show strong emotions or intense reactions.

This face is very similar to the laughing smiley, the only real difference being the eyes. In plain text it’s commonly written as the letters XD or with two triangular brackets ><.
