Without context, I agree, but Hugging Face is the name of the emoji added to Unicode 8.0 and Emoji 1.0 in 2015.
ooooh I always assumed it was the egg creatures from Aliens
That's a face hugger.
But it's literally not the name of the emoji.
Edit: It was my understanding the official name was "Smiling Face with Open Hands Emoji".
https://emojipedia.org/hugging-face#technical
The official URL is "hugging-face" and the technical page lists the Unicode Name as "Hugging Face" while calling it "Smiling Face with Open Hands Emoji". The original proposal was called "Gmail HUG FACE".
