Hushed face Emoji

Smileys

A yellow face with wide, open eyes and a small, rounded mouth shaped like an 'O'. It conveys a sense of quiet astonishment or being caught off-guard by something unexpected.

Usage Context

Used to show a reaction to surprising news or a moment of disbelief where words fail you. It is less intense than the shock of 😱 but serves as a clear signal that you are momentarily taken aback or waiting for more information.

History

Added to the Unicode standard in 2010 as part of Emoji 1.0, this face draws inspiration from early Japanese emoticons that used punctuation like 'o_O' to signal confusion or a brief moment of stillness in a fast-paced chat.
