face without mouth

Used when youโ€™re speechless, stunned, or choosing to say nothing โ€” like a quiet โ€œโ€ฆokay then.โ€ It shows youโ€™re out of words or trying not to comment.

  • Your coworker just told you heโ€™s spending his entire paycheck on a gaming chair again.

    Iโ€ฆ donโ€™t even know what to say ๐Ÿ˜ถ

Differences between ๐Ÿ˜ถ (face without mouth) and ๐Ÿค (zipper-mouth face)

Both are muted faces with closed mouths. ๐Ÿ˜ถ signals being speechless or choosing silence, a quiet stunned pause. ๐Ÿค reads as a deliberately sealed mouth, more intentional and playful. It suggests secrecy and a mischievous restraint rather than mere shock. The tone of ๐Ÿค feels conspiratorial and teasing, while ๐Ÿ˜ถ feels flat and stunned. The zipper implies an active decision to withhold comment, adding a wink of mischief that contrasts with the neutral blankness of the mouthless face.

Usage

If you are taken aback or genuinely have nothing to add, use ๐Ÿ˜ถ to show silence or muted disbelief. If you are withholding information, avoiding gossip, or teasingly refusing to speak, use ๐Ÿค to convey intentional silence.
