An undercover investigator,&nbsp;wearing a hat, and sometimes using a <a href="/magnifying-glass-tilted-right/" title=" 🔎 Right-Pointing Magnifying Glass">magnifying glass</a> to closely inspect evidence. This emoji did not originally recommend emoji modifiers, but a <a href="http://blog.emojipedia.org/diverse-spy-proposal/">proposal</a> was created&nbsp;to address this.

Sleuth or Spy

A&nbsp;pale skin tone modifier, which can be applied to a range of human emoji characters.

<ul>
	<li>Type 1 on the&nbsp;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fitzpatrick_scale" target="_blank">Fitzpatrick Scale</a>&nbsp;of skin tones is described as:&nbsp;Pale white; blond or red hair; blue eyes; freckles</li>
	<li>Type 2 on the&nbsp;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fitzpatrick_scale" target="_blank">Fitzpatrick Scale</a>&nbsp;of skin tones is described as:&nbsp;White; fair; blond or red hair; blue, green, or hazel eyes</li>
</ul>

This is a combination of type 1&nbsp;(pale white) and type 2 (white). Despite the descriptions, Apple&rsquo;s artwork tends to display this type-1-2 skin tone modifier with dark hair.

Emoji Modifier Fitzpatrick Type-1-2

Zero Width Joiner (ZWJ) is a Unicode character that joins two or more other characters together in sequence to create a new emoji.

A yellow face with its right hand saluting. Used as a sign of respect.

The expression of the face of this emoji can vary across platforms, with some designs featuring a <a href="/neutral-face">neutral</a> face while others are shown smiling to various degrees.&nbsp;

Apple and Huewai&#39;s designs notably only display half a face, likely to make the saluting hand more prominent when this emoji is viewed in smaller sizes.

<div id="professor_prebid-root">This emoji went viral across Twitter in late 2022 following the&nbsp;news that the platform would be dramatically reducing its staff numbers as part of a company-wide restructuring following its acquisition by Elon Musk. <a href="https://blog.emojipedia.org/10-years-of-viral-emoji-moments/">Learn more here.</a></div>

<div id="professor_prebid-root">&nbsp;</div>

Saluting Face

A yellow face with big glasses, a large nose, thick eyebrows, and a mustache. Used to represent someone in disguise.

The features of this particular disguised face are taken from the &ldquo;Groucho Mask&rdquo; or &ldquo;Groucho Glasses,&rdquo; designed in the likeness of the caricature played by Julius Henry Marx in the Marx Brothers&#39; films. These comedic films were popular in the 1930s and &lsquo;40s, and the mask has been a mainstay of joke shops since <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2000/06/18/books/there-ain-t-no-sanity-claus.html">as early as the 1940s</a>.

Other emoji faces in disguise include <a href="/superhero/">🦸 Superhero</a> and <a href="/supervillain/">🦹 Supervillain</a>.

Disguised Face

A single human eye, looking forward. This eye is in a different shape and style to the pair of <a href="/eyes/" title=" 👀 Eyes">eyes</a>, which are more rounded, and looking to one side.

Notably used alongside the <a href="/mouth">mouth</a> emoji to create the &quot;It is what it is&quot; emoji face: 👁️👄👁️. <a href="https://blog.emojipedia.org/10-years-of-viral-emoji-moments/">Learn more here</a>.
