About
🗿 Moai Head Emoji and 🍷 Wine Glass Emoji refers to a combination of the🗿 moai head emoji and 🍷 wine glass emoji to create an expression for social media users to comment on content that is considered to be of “high intellectual value.” The trend gained interest on TikTok in August 2022, often used in Sigma Male content to represent Fino Señores or Fino Senhores, which translates to "fine gentlemen." It's also used to mimic the facial expressions of GigaChad.
Origin
On March 2022, the Brazilian TikTok[1] user @peiranoo used the 🗿 moai head emoji as caption for a video he posted trying to reproduce the GigaChad face. The video received 47,400 views and 2,500 likes in a year (seen below). The TikToker continued to use the moai emoji and the GigaChad face filter for several other videos, popularizing the use of the emoji with the trend “cara de pedra” (stone-man face in Portuguese) on TikTok.
Spread
After the video by @peiranoo gained virality, other users mimicked the new trend. TikTok[2] user @tm7didix uploaded a compilation of other Brazilian users doing the GigaChad face, garnering 1 million views and 92,100 likes in almost a year (seen below).
Around July 2022, the 🗿 moai head emoji and 🍷 wine glass emoji, popularized through the “cara de pedra” TikTok meme, began to be used alongside Sigma Male content on TikTok. The emojis started to represent a code between other people on social media to represent "finos senhores" ("fine gentlemen" in Portuguese). The TikTok[4] user @garotasgima shared a video of Patrick Bateman as a Sigma Male. The video received 270,800 views and 56,000 likes in 7 months.
On August 19th, 2022, a mysterious user called @moaideterno[3] appeared on TikTok using the Moai emoji mask in a suit. The account has two videos, the first one receiving 3.6 million views and 874,000 likes in seven months, and the other, posted on October 21st, 2022, garnering 1.1 million views and 216,000 likes in four months.
As of January 17th, 2023, the hashtag for the emojis, #🗿🍷, has accumulated 539.3 million views. In many of these videos, the instrumental song "Reflections" by musician Toshifumi Hinata is inserted as a way of representing the “elegant” tone of the trend.
