happy face
Grin emoji ancestor
A happy face is a simple drawing of a smiling face—typically a circle with two dots for eyes and an upward curve for a mouth.
The iconic yellow version became ubiquitous in the 1970s and evolved into digital emoji.
The term can be slightly dismissive: Don't just put a happy face on a bad situation suggests superficial optimism masking real problems.
