If you run into a 🪑, you may be a little confused—especially if you’re on TikTok where things are rarely what they seem. There are technically two emojis that depict a chair: the 🪑 (chair) and the 💺 (seat). In this article, we’ll cover both of them! In fact, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know about these emojis when it comes to what they represent and how they’re used.

    If you aren’t on TikTok, the chair emoji typically doesn’t carry any secondary meanings. It’s a household chair, and that’s how it’s typically used. [1] For example:
    • “Do you still have that vintage 🪑 I like? I might take it off your hands.”
    • “Where did you find that 🪑 in your living room?”
    • “I’m going 🪑 shopping. Want to come along? I might get a new sofa, too.”

    People use chairs to take a load off of their feet, or sit down to eat, so the emoji can be used this way. You might say:
    • “Let’s have a family dinner tonight. It’s been a while since we all 🪑 together.”
    • “It’s been a long day. I can’t wait to just kick it 😌🌿🪑.”
    • “I just want to 🪑. I’ve been on my feet all day.”

    What does a chair have to do with laughing, you ask? It’s a fair question. The chair emoji doesn’t really make sense in this situation (which is basically the joke). A TikTok user had the idea to spam popular Youtuber KSI with the 🪑 emoji instead of using the 😂 (laughing) emoji and it took off! [2]
    • Think of the “🪑” like “lol” or “haha.”
    • You might say: “I’m dying 🪑 🪑 🪑” or, “Hilarious 🪑 🪑 🪑 🪑.”
    • If this seems confusing, that’s because it’s supposed to be. The goal with the 🪑 is to often troll people who aren’t in on the joke.

    While the 🪑 just looks like a standard kitchen table chair, the 💺 emoji looks more like the kind of seating you’d find on a train, plane, or bus. [3] You might see someone say:
    • “Did you check in for our flight? I want a window 💺.”
    • “I can’t wait for our trip! ✈️💺”
    • “Should we fly or catch a train? I want to save on travel, tbh 💺.”

    If you’re referencing actual chairs, go ahead and throw a 🪑 emoji in there to spice your message up a bit. For example, you might say:
    • “I want a new set of 🪑 for the dining room when we move.”
    • “Want to go antiquing? I’m trying to find a cool 🪑.”
    • “Hey, I really like your accent 🪑. Where did you buy it?”

    If you want to talk about taking a load off of your feet, or you’re sending a message that has anything to do with seating plans or sitting, you can use a 🪑. You could say:
    • “Once we lock down the venue, we can talk about the 🪑 plans.”
    • “I’m trying to just relax tonight. Want to 🪑 and drink some 🍺?”
    • “I can’t wait to get off of my feet and chill 🪑.”

    If you want to mess with someone or you want to be in on the joke on TikTok, use the 🪑 instead of a 😂. People may not understand you if they don’t follow KSI or they’ve never seen this meme, but the folks who know will totally get it! [4] You could use it as a response, like:
    • “Absolutely unbelievable!!! 🪑 🪑 🪑”
    • “I’m losing it over here 🪑 🪑 🪑”
    • “🪑”

    If you’re talking about travel plans or you’re getting amped for a vacation, use a 💺 emoji. This is a fun way to play up what is often the part of a trip people don’t look forward to! You could say:
    • “I can’t wait for our ✈️! I hope I get a window seat 💺.”
    • “I’m going to have some champagne before we land 💺. I’m so excited!”
    • “You ready to get moving? It’s time to 💺!”
