馃か Shushing Face emoji
[shuh-shing feys ih-moh-jee]
What does聽馃か Shushing Face emoji mean?
Shhhhhh. The shushing face emoji depicts a round face, with a finger being held to its lips. You can almost hear the shhhh-ing sound coming from your phone. That’s annoying. Or helpful. Of course, it depends, as always, on context.
Sometimes, it means “quiet,” sometimes “don’t tell anyone I just wrote that,” and sometimes people seem to confuse it for the thinking face emoji.
Where does 馃か Shushing Face emoji come from?
The shushing face emoji took some time to make its debut, which seems kind of surprising. It聽was approved as part of Unicode 10.0 in 2017 under the name 鈥淔ace With Finger Covering Closed Lips鈥� and added to Emoji 5.0 in 2017.
Some forecast it being widely used to tell people to shush, but that doesn’t seem to be the case, at least on social media. (If you’ve been texted this emoji more than once or twice, well, maybe you should be doing some 馃.) (Oops, did we say that out loud?! 馃か )
As stated above, sometimes it can “be quiet,” but it actually usually implies secrecy, like “don’t tell anyone I just wrote that.”
