History & usage: FACE WITH FINGER COVERING CLOSED LIPS depicts a gesture of keeping a secret or showing discretion. In chat, it signals hush, confidentiality, or a request for quiet, making it a fit for private moments or sensitive topics. It can also convey teasing or subtle amusement when someone is hinting at something not to be spoken aloud, adding nuance to conversations. In UI text, it helps users indicate privacy or a need for discretion when sharing information. For accessibility, provide surrounding text that clearly states the meaning to assist screen readers. Across platforms, appearance varies by color, style, and detail, so the same emoji may look different. If color is not supported, a monochrome fallback may appear. Ensure the intended meaning is clear in the surrounding content.
Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+1F92B in many development tools or editors. Some operating systems provide a character viewer or input palette that lets you search by name or code and insert the glyph into documents.
Display and fallback: if you see an empty box (tofu) or a placeholder rectangle, the active font might not include this codepoint. Switching to a font with broader Unicode coverage or using a fallback font usually fixes the issue. On the web, ensure the page’s font stack includes a general‑purpose fallback.
