what (Animated)
What does the what emoji mean?
A suspicious worm-like creature suddenly finds exactly what it was looking for.
This emoji features the 'Worm' character from the popular webcomic 'Worm' by artist Ben Zank, often used to convey a sense of 'finding' something or realizing a suspicious truth. It starts with the character scanning a dark area with a flashlight before shifting into a smug, knowing grin. It is a staple in Discord servers for moments of discovery, realization, or when someone finally uncovers a hidden truth in the chat.
When to use it
- Indicating a sudden realization of the truth
- Revealing a secret found in the chat
