The shushing face emoji (🤫) features a face with wide eyes, a finger pressed to the lips, and a playful expression, embodying the idea of keeping a secret or asking for silence. It’s often used to encourage quietness, whether in a hushed conversation or to share confidential gossip. For instance, someone might use it when revealing a surprise party plan. Culturally, it reminds us of the universal gesture for discretion, adding an extra layer of intrigue to communications. Did you know it’s also a fun way to express slyness when discussing secrets? The emoji version is 5, released in 2017.
