This is the correct answer
To me it means "I take particular notice of this"
Such as,
[Third world country]: holy crap guys I struck oil!
[United States of America]: 👀
(It makes cars go)
Bill wurtz reference \o/
it just means "looking" idk what's so hard about it.
Me thought that it's easy to understand by other people 👀
Who here knows what O.o means?
It means confuse/bewildered
Ball so hard, motherfuckers want to fine me.
Every small time regional band on social media
"👀 Watch this space! Big surprises coming!"
Oh, did you guys write a few more songs? Did you get that gig at the county fair? THATS WHAT THE FUCK BANDS DO! Just fucking tell us when the new thing happens. I don't have the bandwidth to remember that you guys have another self produced album of mediocre bar rock coming out.

I'm out of touch with THE YOUTH and I have no idea why you youngins use 😭 to convey any and every emotion possible.
Just use merman. Merman means everything.

I'm enjoying what Sync made of this
Oh god, it looks like it's about to sing.
Help me, Dr Zaius!
I like that it has perspective. A rarity among emojis
I like yours more than voyagers rendition
Yours has the air of a stupid lovecraftian being, my spirit animal
Yours is more accurate however.
Yeah but what good is that when yours is funnier
Can't argue with that

WHAT DOES THE BLACK MOONFACE MEAN
I ask my spouse all the time and he just replies with another black moonface
The moon is like the lennyface of emojis
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

They defo are making a black moon face face in this pic
The new moon, haha, it's not black it's just shaded
My co-workers tell me it's either "that's interesting," i.e. it drew their attention; or just that they're looking at something. For example, if I provide a link to a ticket, they're indicating that they received the link and have clicked or will click it to look at it.
I have also seen one person use it like the Michael Jackson eating popcorn gif when using a messenger that did not support embedded images.
Pretty widely understood at my last two companies to mean something like "looking into this" or "taking a look." Basically just a quick acknowledgment to let the person asking the question know that they can probably expect a response from that person soon, and lets others know that someone's already on it so we don't duplicate effort.
I always assumed this was a common usage on Slack.
That's how I would have interpreted it, as well, but I've seen it used in situations where that didn't seem fitting so I asked.
Same in my company. Acknowledging that you've seen the message and are looking into it.
