What 🥽 means from a girl or a guy
Who sent the goggles and what came before it change the reading more than the emoji itself does.
What 🥽 means in other countries
Reads as sports or safety gear almost everywhere, but in Hong Kong protest circles it became shorthand for anti-tear-gas equipment.
Tied to the 2019 pro-democracy protests, where goggles were standard anti-tear-gas gear and became a movement symbol.
Straightforward PPE reference — chemistry, welding, or a general safety-first reminder.
Swimming or skiing gear, no deeper meaning beyond the activity itself.
Before you send it: Fine for swim, ski or lab talk; avoid it in political conversations about Hong Kong unless that’s the actual point.
What 🥽 means on TikTok, WhatsApp and Discord
Chat apps do not change U+1F97D, they change what it looks like and what people take it to mean.
Where the 🥽 Goggles emoji came from
Approved as part of Emoji 11.0, the goggles has been on phones for years now — counting from its release, 8.
Same character every time — U+1F97D never changed. Only the drawing did, and only because each vendor redraws its own set. Someone on an older phone still sees the older picture.
Goggles was approved as U+1F97D and shipped in Emoji 11.0 (2018). Phones usually get new artwork about a year after approval, in a system update.
Every vendor keeps its own artwork, so 🥽 is redrawn by Apple, Google, Twitter / X, Facebook, OpenMoji, Samsung, Microsoft, WhatsApp, JoyPixels. The character you send never changes — only the picture does.
