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

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.
