What is this?

It's an emoji that was originally meant to symbolize the human tendency to roll their eyes for various reasons: https://www.google.ca/search?q=rolleyes+gif&dcr=0&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwirs5HJ88PWAhWKrlQKHZCDB_AQsAQIJw&biw=2856&bih=1659#imgrc=a3bRcEr_46ASWM:

That being said, many people have misappropriated the emoji as simply a fun way to end sentences so as to make the reader laugh rather than be potentially offended. So although it should be used as a indication that there might be some sarcasm in the sentence, now it is being abused to make the reader unsure. If used in *obvious* fun, then it works, but if not, the confusion will usually irritate the reader.
