A little context
What the raised eyebrow emoji means
🤨 (face with raised eyebrow, Emoji 5.0) is doubt you can see: “really?”, “are you sure?”, suspicion, a sceptical “hmm”. It is the Colbert-style eyebrow, more confrontational than 🤔 and more focused than 👀. 🧐 (face with monocle) is inspection with a touch of pomp; 😒 and 🙄 are judgement. The side eye emoji guide compares the whole sceptical family.

The sender doubts what you said or finds it suspicious — a raised eyebrow, “are you serious?”.
Is 🤨 rude?
It is pointed. Between friends it is teasing; to a stranger it reads as an accusation.
