On TikTok: On TikTok in 2026, this emoji is absolutely still hitting.

You'd see it with sounds like the 'This is the way' sound, or anything that signifies a strong, undeniable point. It's never truly cringe on TikTok because it's always used to emphasize a mood or a fact, not to be performatively cool.
