Meaning
A single human eye. It stands for seeing, watching and looking. Unlike the pair of eyes 👀, which means active looking, the single eye reads as more unsettling and more surveillant — it is the eye that is watching you rather than the eyes that are looking at something. It appears in watching and surveillance contexts, and it is considerably more sinister than the pair.
