Empty and pointing left, this speech bubble carries no words of its own, just the shape of one about to be said. It's plain dialogue shorthand â quoting what someone said, setting up a punchline, or just marking that speech is happening â quieter than the jagged shout of its anger-bubble cousin nearby.
What đ¨ī¸ means
A black speech bubble facing the left side. The bubble of this emoji adorns the outline of an eye. This emoji would vary drastically in color, shape, and size across different platforms.
The đ¨ī¸ Left Speech Bubble signifies speech, talking, a dialogue, and a conversation. One interesting catch about the emoji is that when sent, this emoji faces the sender, making it all the more apt to use it in group chats.
