Zipper-mouth face Emoji
Smileys
A yellow face with a closed zipper for a mouth. The design features a metal zipper slider at the center of the lips, suggesting the mouth is physically locked shut.
Usage Context
Used to signal that you are keeping a secret, have been told to keep quiet, or are choosing not to comment on a sensitive topic. It is frequently sent when someone wants to show they are biting their tongue or remaining tight-lipped about a situation. It is often paired with 🙊 to emphasize discretion.
History
Added to the Unicode standard in 2015, this emoji reflects the visual metaphor of a 'zipped lip' that gained popularity in early internet chat rooms and instant messaging platforms as a shorthand way to indicate a lack of permission or willingness to speak.
