Muted speaker Emoji

Objects

A dark grey speaker icon featuring a diagonal strike through it, indicating that audio output is disabled or set to absolute silence.

Usage Context

This icon is a staple of digital interface design, used to signal that a video, audio clip, or system notification has been silenced. It is the go-to way to tell someone that you cannot hear their voice message or that you have muted your microphone during a group call. It is frequently grouped with 🔊 or 🔉 to show the full range of volume settings.

History

The muted speaker was integrated into the Unicode standard in 2010 as part of the initial wave of emoji adoption. Its design stems directly from early operating system UI icons intended to help users quickly identify whether their sound card was active or muted without opening complex settings menus.
