A yellow face emoji with smiling eyes, rosy cheeks, and open hands, as if reaching out for a hug.

The Hugging Face emoji is most often used to express comfort, care, friendliness, or emotional support. The outstretched hands suggest a virtual hug, making it ideal for heartfelt, affectionate messages.
