What does 🗿 Moai mean?
A moai, one of the monumental stone figures of Rapa Nui (Easter Island). It stands for statues, travel and Easter Island, but online it is famous as a deadpan reaction: a stone-faced, unimpressed, stoic response. People use it when they are too stunned to react, to show a blank stare, or in meme culture for a cold, unbothered vibe. It often follows a strange message.
🗿 Moai is an emoji from the Objects category (miscellaneous objects), added in Emoji 0.6 in 2010. People use it in messages about face, moyai, statue, stoneface and travel.
