- Search "crown" and tap ๐
- Search "sunglasses" or "cool" and tap ๐

- Send it and prepare for the "okay, confidence" reactions
Android bonus: Gboard suggests emoji based on context. Type "king" or "queen" and it might just suggest ๐๐ automatically. Technology is wild.
On Windows
- Press Windows key + . (period) โ Microsoft's secret emoji portal
- Search "crown" in the emoji panel
- Click ๐
- Search "sunglasses" and click ๐

Windows hack: Once you use an emoji, it appears in your "recently used" section. Use ๐๐ once, and it'll be right there waiting for your next self-hype moment.
On Mac
- Press Control + Command + Space (the Mac version of summoning confidence)
- Search "crown" and double-click ๐
- Search "sunglasses" and double-click ๐
- Paste and let the world know you're royalty with a chill attitude
Mac power move: Add these emoji to your Favorites in the picker. Click the clock icon โ Favorites, and pin ๐๐ for instant access. Efficiency is queen behavior.
Using KitchenMoji (The "Make It a Custom Sticker" Power Move)
Want to level up from basic emoji to visual statement? Turn ๐๐ into an actual Emoji Kitchen mashup sticker:
- Visit KitchenMoji.com
- Select ๐ as your first emoji (the foundation of your reign)
- Select ๐ as your second emoji (the unbothered cherry on top)
- Click "Download" to save as a PNG sticker
- Use it everywhere โ Instagram Stories, WhatsApp, TikTok overlays, threatening messages to your siblings
Why this slaps: Emoji Kitchen mashups aren't just two emoji sitting next to each other. Google's algorithm actually blends them into one cohesive piece of art. It's like commissioning a tiny royal portrait, but free and faster.
The "You Dropped This ๐" Meme: A Cultural Moment
Before we go further, we need to talk about the "you dropped this ๐" meme โ because understanding it will change how you use the crown emoji forever.
What it means:
When someone says or does something confident, impressive, or bold, people reply with:
"You dropped this ๐"
Translation: "You're such a king/queen for that statement/action that you must have accidentally dropped your crown. Here, let me return it to you because you CLEARLY deserve to wear it."
Where it came from:
The format evolved from internet praise culture โ specifically from communities hyping each other up on Twitter, TikTok, and Instagram comment sections. It's the digital equivalent of someone standing up and slow-clapping.
How to use it:
โ
Someone posts a powerful opinion โ Comment "you dropped this ๐"
โ
Friend shares an achievement โ Reply "you dropped this ๐"
โ
Creator makes incredible content โ Drop "you dropped this ๐" in the comments
โ Someone shares bad news โ DO NOT "you dropped this ๐" them (read the room, friend)
โ Professional LinkedIn post โ Maybe don't (we'll get to this)
Adding ๐ to the mix: Some people add ๐ after returning the crown to emphasize "and you did it so effortlessly." It's the ultimate compliment: "You're royalty AND you're cool about it."
Where to Deploy This Power Combo
Instagram Captions
When it works:
- Birthday posts: "Another year of being me ๐๐"
- Achievement posts: "Finally graduated ๐๐"
- Outfit checks: "Felt cute, might rule a kingdom later ๐๐"
- Ironic mundane wins: "Did my laundry for the first time in 3 weeks ๐๐"
Pro tip: Instagram posts with emoji see a 48% engagement boost over plain text. The algorithm loves visual elements, and humans love feeling something when they scroll.
When to hold back: Every. Single. Post. If all your captions have ๐๐, the meaning dilutes. Use it when you genuinely want to mark a moment as "I'm proud of this."
TikTok Comments
Perfect for:
- Hyping creators: "The confidence in this video ๐๐"
- Reacting to bold takes: Comment "you dropped this ๐" with or without ๐
- Celebrating skill demonstrations: "The way you did that transition ๐๐"
TikTok reality: Comments that are funny, specific, or hype the creator get more likes and replies. Generic emoji-only comments get buried. Add substance: "This is the energy we need ๐๐" beats just "๐๐" alone.
Instagram/TikTok Stories
How to use:
- React to friends' Stories with ๐๐ (shows up as a sticker they can share)
- Add it as text overlay on YOUR Stories when flexing (but gently)
- Use the KitchenMoji PNG version for maximum visual impact
Vibe check: Stories are more casual than feed posts, so ๐๐ feels natural here. You're hyping a moment, not curating a permanent highlight reel.
WhatsApp/iMessage (Friends & Family)
Great for:
- Birthday wishes: "Happy birthday to the queen/king ๐๐"
- Celebrating friend wins: "You got the job?! ๐๐"
- Inside jokes about being "too good" at mundane things
- Ironic self-hype in group chats
Cultural note: WhatsApp family chats will take this VERY literally. Your aunt will think you're actually claiming to be royalty. Use with caution in boomer-heavy groups.
Dating Apps (Proceed with Caution)
When it might work:
- Bio: "Living life like ๐๐" (confident but not cocky)
- Responding to a compliment: "Thank you ๐๐" (playful acknowledgment)
When it definitely doesn't work:
- First message: "Hey ๐๐" (confusing and try-hard)
- After no response: Following up with ๐๐ (please no)
Reality check: On dating apps, ๐๐ in your bio might read as "confident" or "cocky" depending on the rest of your profile. Use sparingly and pair with actual personality.
Platform-Specific Rules (AKA "Read the Room")
LinkedIn: ABSOLUTELY NOT
Look, I love confidence as much as the next person, but do not use ๐๐ on LinkedIn. Here's why:
- It reads as arrogant in professional contexts
- Your boss, recruiters, and future employers will see it
- "Just closed a deal ๐๐" makes you sound insufferable
- Professional wins deserve ๐ or ๐, not crowns
Exception: You work in a very creative industry (like social media management or content creation) and your entire LinkedIn brand is "irreverent but talented." Even then, tread carefully.
Discord: Server-Dependent
- Gaming servers: ๐๐ works great for celebrating wins or roasting friends (with love)
- Professional dev servers: Save it for #random or #off-topic
- Friend servers: Go wild, it's your kingdom
Twitter/X: Proceed with Self-Awareness
- It works: When genuinely celebrating yourself or others
- It backfires: When you use it on every tweet (overuse = cringe)
- It's perfect: For ironic self-hype ("survived Monday ๐๐")
Snapchat: Cool, But Know the Emoji Meaning
Wait, there's more: On Snapchat, ๐ has a DIFFERENT meaning โ it shows up automatically when you and someone else share a mutual Best Friend. It's not something you manually send; Snapchat assigns it.
So if you're using ๐๐ on Snapchat captions or Snaps, you're good. Just know that a standalone ๐ next to a name means something else entirely.
Generational Vibes: How Different Ages Use ๐๐
Gen Z (Born ~1997-2012)
How they use it:
- Ironic self-hype: "Made my bed today ๐๐" (celebrating tiny wins with exaggerated confidence)
- Meme format: "You dropped this ๐" in comments (established internet language)
- Sarcastic cool: Sometimes ๐ is used for "I'm too cool to care" energy, which can read as detached
Caution: Some Gen Z consider ๐ and similar "big smile" emoji cringe, but ๐ is generally safe. Crown emoji is widely used and understood.
Millennials (Born ~1981-1996)
How they use it:
- Genuine empowerment: "Know your worth ๐๐" (literal self-confidence messages)
- Achievement celebration: Graduations, promotions, milestones (earnest use)
- Birthday energy: "Birthday queen behavior ๐๐" (classic)
Vibe: Less irony, more sincerity. When a Millennial uses ๐๐, they usually mean it at face value. We invented emoji-as-emotional-shorthand, and we're using it PROPERLY, thank you very much.
Gen X and Older (Born ~1965-1980)
How they use it:
- Literal meanings: Crown = actual royalty or achievement; Sunglasses = literally cool or sunny
- Family celebrations: Birthday posts, family WhatsApp groups
- Less meme-aware: Might not know "you dropped this ๐" is a whole thing
Translation guide: If your Gen X uncle sends ๐๐, he probably means "you're great and cool" without 47 layers of internet irony. Take it as the straightforward compliment it is.
When ๐๐ Goes Horribly Wrong: A Survival Guide
Mistake 1: Using It at Work (Non-Creative Industries)
The scene: You close a big project and announce it in the company Slack: "Project delivered ๐๐"
Why it's bad:
- Reads as "I'm better than the team" instead of "we did great work"
- Coworkers might perceive it as arrogant or immature
- Your manager is taking notes (and not the good kind)
The fix: Use team-friendly emoji like ๐, ๐, or ๐. Save ๐๐ for your personal Instagram after work hours.
Mistake 2: Every Single Post
The scene: Your last 10 Instagram captions all end with ๐๐
Why it's bad:
- Emoji inflation: If everything gets ๐๐, nothing does. It loses all meaning.
- You start looking insecure (overcompensating with confidence symbols)
- Friends start wondering if you're okay
The fix: Reserve ๐๐ for moments that genuinely feel like wins. Mix up your emoji vocabulary. The world has options.
Mistake 3: Responding to Serious Vulnerability
The scene: Friend texts "I'm really struggling with imposter syndrome" and you reply "You're amazing though ๐๐"
Why it's bad:
- The casual tone undermines their vulnerability
- ๐ can read as dismissive ("just be confident, it's easy!")
- They needed empathy, not a pep rally
The fix: Match their emotional weight. Use โค๏ธ, ๐ซ, or actual words: "That sounds really hard. Want to talk about it?" Save the crown for when they're celebrating, not when they're hurting.
Mistake 4: Using It on Strangers (Wrong Context)
The scene: You comment "Looking good ๐๐" on a stranger's Instagram post
Why it's bad:
- Could read as flirty when you meant supportive
- Might seem sarcastic or mocking without established rapport
- Context-less crown emoji can confuse people
The fix: If you don't know them well, use safer hype emoji like ๐ฅ or ๐. Build rapport before deploying royalty symbolism.
Mistake 5: Misreading the "You Dropped This ๐" Tone
The scene: Someone shares a small achievement, you comment "You dropped this ๐๐" but your tone reads as condescending
Why it's bad:
- Without clear enthusiasm, it can sound sarcastic or patronizing
- The ๐ might make it seem like you're not taking them seriously
- They can't hear your tone through text
The fix: Add context! "You dropped this ๐ โ seriously, that's amazing" makes your intent clear. Or use "You dropped this ๐" solo (no ๐) for more earnest praise.
Creating Your ๐๐ Emoji Kitchen Mashup Sticker
Unicode ๐๐ (two emoji side-by-side) works great in text. But sometimes you want a visual mashup โ one fused image that screams "I commissioned this specifically to look cool." That's where Emoji Kitchen comes in.
How to create the ๐๐ mashup on KitchenMoji
- Open kitchenmoji.com or go directly to the Emoji Mashup Generator
- Select ๐ (Crown) as your first emoji
- Select ๐ (Smiling Face with Sunglasses) as your second emoji
- If Google has published a blend for this pair, the mashup preview appears instantly
Tap the card above to:
- Copy Unicode (๐๐) for Instagram captions, Twitter bios, TikTok comments โ works anywhere text works
- Download PNG to use as a sticker in Instagram Stories, Discord reactions, TikTok video overlays, custom Telegram stickers
- Share the link with people who need confident-royalty energy in their lives
When to use the mashup PNG vs Unicode text
| Format | Best for | Why | |--------|----------|-----| | Unicode ๐๐ | Instagram captions, Twitter/X, YouTube comments, TikTok captions, text messages | Works natively everywhere; fast to paste; universally recognized across all devices | | Mashup PNG Sticker | Instagram Stories, TikTok overlays, Discord reactions, WhatsApp stickers, custom profile pics | Unique visual; higher engagement; shows you know your way around internet culture |
Pro Tips for Using ๐๐ Like You Actually Get It
1. Pair It with Other Emoji Strategically
Don't just drop ๐๐ and ghost. Stack thoughtfully:
| Combo | Meaning | When to use | |-------|---------|-------------| | ๐๐๐ฅ | "Royal, cool, AND on fire" | Peak achievements, viral moments, when you're genuinely crushing it | | ๐๐โจ | "Royal, cool, with sparkle" | Aesthetic posts, birthday content, glow-up photos | | ๐๐๐ฏ | "Royal, cool, 100% perfect" | When something went exactly as planned (and you're proud) | | ๐๐๐ | "Royal, cool, celebrating" | Milestones, wins, party content |
Avoid: ๐๐๐ญ or ๐๐๐ข unless you're going for very specific ironic comedy. Mixing celebration with sadness confuses people.
2. Use It for Ironic Self-Hype (The Gen Z Move)
The best ๐๐ usage is when you're celebrating something small with exaggerated confidence:
- "Successfully parallel parked on the first try ๐๐"
- "Remembered to water my plants this week ๐๐"
- "Replied to an email within 24 hours ๐๐"
This works because you're acknowledging the gap between the crown's grandeur and the task's mundanity. It's funny because you KNOW it's not actually royal behavior, but you're celebrating it anyway.
3. Master the "You Dropped This ๐" Response
When someone posts something confident, skilled, or impressive:
Good responses:
- "You dropped this ๐" (classic, respectful)
- "You dropped this ๐๐" (adds "and you did it effortlessly")
- "Sir/ma'am, you dropped this ๐" (formal + meme = chef's kiss)
Avoid:
- Using it sarcastically on someone's failure (cruel, not funny)
- Spamming it on every post (loses meaning)
- Using it when they shared bad news (emotional intelligence = 0)
4. Know When to Go Solo vs Combo
Use ๐ alone when:
- You want to be earnest and supportive (no irony)
- "You dropped this ๐" meme format
- Celebrating someone else (pure praise)
Use ๐ alone when:
- Expressing general cool/chill vibes
- "Too cool to care" energy
- Casual confidence without royalty implications
Use ๐๐ together when:
- Self-hype that's playful but proud
- Ironic celebration of mundane wins
- You want "confident but not trying too hard" energy
5. Check Your Caption Tone
๐๐ amplifies whatever tone your caption has:
- Humble-brag caption + ๐๐ = Might read as actual bragging
- Funny self-aware caption + ๐๐ = Perfect comedic timing
- Sincere achievement caption + ๐๐ = Confident and deserved
- Complaining caption + ๐๐ = Confusing mixed message
Golden rule: The emoji should match your caption's energy, not contradict it.
Frequently Asked Questions (Because You're Definitely Wondering)
What does ๐๐ mean?
๐๐ means "confident royalty with chill vibes." It's the emoji equivalent of "I know I'm great, but I'm unbothered about it." The crown (๐) represents excellence, achievement, or king/queen status, while the sunglasses (๐) add a layer of effortless cool. Together, they say "I'm winning, and I'm not even stressed about it."
Is ๐๐ flirting or friendly?
Usually friendly/self-directed, rarely flirting. When people use ๐๐, it's typically about self-confidence or celebrating someone else's achievement. It doesn't carry romantic undertones unless the rest of the context is flirty. If someone sends you ๐๐ after you share a win, they're hyping you up, not hitting on you.
What is the "you dropped this ๐" meme?
It's a format for praising someone. When someone says or does something confident, impressive, or bold, people reply "you dropped this ๐" as if returning a crown they accidentally dropped. It means "you're such a king/queen for that, here's your crown back." It's pure validation and support, widely used on TikTok, Twitter, and Instagram comments.
Can I use ๐๐ on LinkedIn?
No. Unless you work in a very specific creative industry where irreverence is part of your brand, avoid using ๐๐ on LinkedIn. In professional contexts, it reads as arrogant rather than confident. Use ๐, ๐, or thoughtful words instead. Save the royal energy for your personal social media.
How often should I use ๐๐?
Quality over quantity. If you're using ๐๐ more than once a week across all your posts, you're probably overdoing it. Reserve it for genuine wins, achievements, or moments of ironic self-celebration. If every post gets the crown, none of them feel special. Emoji inflation is real.
Does ๐๐ work on all platforms?
Yes and no. The Unicode version (๐๐) works everywhere โ Instagram, TikTok, Twitter/X, text messages, emails. The Emoji Kitchen PNG mashup is a downloadable image that works as a sticker on Instagram Stories, TikTok, Discord, WhatsApp, and anywhere you can upload images. Both work, but they serve different purposes (text vs visual statement).
What's the difference between ๐๐ and ๐๐?
Same meaning, slightly different emphasis. ๐๐ (crown first) emphasizes "royal status with cool attitude." ๐๐ (sunglasses first) emphasizes "cool person who happens to be royal." In practice, most people use ๐๐ because it flows better linguistically (noun + descriptor). Either works, but crown-first is more common.
Do Gen Z and Millennials use ๐๐ differently?
Yes! Gen Z leans more ironic โ using ๐๐ for small mundane wins with exaggerated confidence ("made my bed ๐๐"). Millennials use it more literally for genuine achievements and self-empowerment moments. Both are valid, just different vibes. Know your audience and match their energy.
The Bottom Line
๐๐ isn't just two emoji โ it's a vibe. It's the digital version of "I'm doing great, and I'm chill about it." It's how you celebrate yourself without seeming like you're trying too hard. It's the balance between confidence and humility, achievement and ease.
The secret to using it well:
- Be genuine (only use it when you actually feel that confident-but-cool energy)
- Be selective (save it for real wins, not every post)
- Be aware (know your platform, audience, and context)
- Be playful (ironic self-hype is often better than serious self-hype)
Whether you're posting a birthday selfie, celebrating a work win (on your PERSONAL social media), or ironically hyping your ability to adult successfully, ๐๐ says: "I'm royalty, and I wear my crown with style."
