π Glasses emoji
[glahs - ezΒ ih-moh-jee]
What doesΒ π Glasses emoji mean?
Varying slightly from platform to platform, the glasses emoji portrays a pair of eyeglasses with a gray or black frame. Most are square or slightly rounded.
The glasses emoji is used in posts about eyewear fashion, and about being nerdy, or just in reference to brain power.
Where does π Glasses emoji come from?
The glasses emoji was approved as part of Unicode 6.0 in 2010 under the name βEyeglassesβ and added to Emoji 1.0 in 2015.
Unlike the nerd face emoji, which depicts a face with eyeglasses, this emoji is generally used to imply a cool fashion sensibility. Just clicking through some posts with this emoji is enough to make a person want to jump on the glasses fashion trend.

Examples of π Glasses emoji
Who uses π Glasses emoji?
Often used in social-media posts relating to eyewear, the glasses emoji is also used to indicate something with a view or that can be seen with a bit of direction (for example, a museum exhibit, movie, or a beautiful lookout point).
It’s also used to indicate brain power. Though eyeglasses have become a hot fashion accessory in recent decades, they still imply bookishness or braininess to a degree. Because people without glasses don’t enjoy reading? Hmm.
