What does 👓 Glasses mean?
A pair of eyeglasses. It is used for reading glasses, opticians, new frames and eyesight in general, and figuratively for taking a closer look – “let me read that again”. It also carries a smart, studious or nerdy tone, similar to 🤓 but without the face. People send it when proofreading, studying, squinting at small print or double-checking a claim.
👓 Glasses is an emoji from the Objects category (clothing & accessories), added in Emoji 0.6 in 2010. People use it in messages about clothing, eye, eyeglasses and eyewear.
