About Tongue Faces
Sticking your tongue out is the oldest playful gesture there is, and text captured it early: 😛 dates to the first wave of emoticons. The upright versions here — (ˆᴗˆ) and its relatives — use ᴗ, з and ³ as the tongue.
What it actually signals
Two things, depending on placement. After a teasing statement it means “I am joking”. After a mistake it means “whoops”, and this second use is the more valuable one — it defuses a small error without an apology, which plain text handles badly.
Playful versus flirty
A tongue face on its own is playful. Combined with a wink it becomes flirty, and the shift is sharper than most people expect. If you want to stay clearly in joking territory, use a tongue face with both eyes open.
