😂 (U+1F602, "Face with Tears of Joy") and 🤣 (U+1F923, "Rolling on the Floor Laughing") are the two most used laughing emojis in the world, but they differ in intensity and usage.
😂 has been the most popular emoji across all social networks since 2015. It expresses sincere, intense laughter — strong enough to bring tears. It is universal, used in all contexts from light humour to full-on hysterics.
🤣 appeared in Unicode 9.0 (2016) and is generally perceived as even more excessive than 😂. It corresponds to the expression "ROFL" and is typically used to amplify a joke or show that something is laugh-out-loud funny.
😂 is ranked as the most used emoji in the world according to annual data from the Unicode Consortium. It accounts for approximately 5% of all emojis sent on social platforms.
Its popularity comes from its versatility: it can express genuine laughter, a reaction to something funny, but also more complex emotions such as awkwardness or resignation. It is one of the few emojis whose meaning can vary significantly depending on the user's generation and culture.
All laughing emojis on this page are standard Unicode characters recognised by all modern platforms. They work on WhatsApp, Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat, Facebook, Twitter/X, Discord, Telegram, iMessage, Gmail and Outlook.
The visual appearance may vary slightly by platform — Apple, Google, Samsung and Microsoft each use their own illustrations — but the Unicode character copied remains identical on all devices.
