Alien Emoji Meaning

A classic alien face. The oval, bare head of a gray or green alien with large black eyes and a slight, friendly smile. Samsung depicts nostrils, Facebook a nose.

May represent extraterrestrial life or topics concerning outer space, but commonly conveys a playful sense of weirdness or strangeness, as if someone or something is out there or from another planet.

Available as an Apple Animoji.

Animated variants from Google and JoyPixels depict the alien flashing a ✌️ Peace Sign gesture, as if to say, “I come in peace.”

Apple previously displayed a similar looking alien head in a box as a placeholder for an unknown emoji, but now shows a boxed question mark.
