Face With Monocle

A yellow face with one raised brow, a small frown, and a monocle over one eye.

The Face with Monocle emoji conveys critical thinking, skepticism, or a posh attitude. It’s commonly used to express curiosity, judgment, sarcasm, or mock sophistication—like examining a situation too closely, or pretending to be fancy.

This emoji is popular in memes and commentary where someone is “evaluating” a statement, post, or choice. It can also be used ironically, such as pretending to be classy while drinking cheap wine.

Some use it to convey mock disapproval (“Hmm, questionable”), while others lean into the old-money aesthetic or vintage humor.
