An eye set inside a speech bubble, built for the Ad Council's 2015 'I Am A Witness' campaign against bullying — a way for bystanders to say they saw it happen and weren't staying quiet. It's still used that way today: 'I saw that,' bearing witness, or simply refusing to look away.
What 👁️🗨️ means
A widely open eye inside the design of a speech bubble that's facing the left side. The design and end finish of this emoji vary between platforms.
The 👁🗨 Eye in Speech Bubble signifies a general sense of being a witness to any event. More so, this emoji is used to represent a campaign against anti-bullying, by stating that you were a witness to the act and that you're staunchly against this juvenile crime that often goes unnoticed.
How and when to use it
- 👁🗨 not only increases awareness against the fear of reporting criminal activities irrespective of the proportion, but it also stands with immediate intervention in the face of such situations.
- If you've ever witnessed a bullying situation, or have been bullied yourself, use 👁🗨 emoji to show that you were/are a witness and you're against this brutality.
- Besides, this emoji supports any other form of harassment besides bullying as well.
- If you were on the criminal side of the problem, and you've reconciled and finally come to your senses, use 👁🗨 emoji to say that you're against bullying and that you're a new and better person now.
- 👁🗨 emoji can also be used to replace the famous comeback phrase of "watch your tongue" or "watch your words".
- It can be used in the context of being a witness to a particular conversation or situation. Mostly adverse, humiliating, and damaging.
