History & usage: FACE WITH FINGER COVERING CLOSED LIPS depicts a gesture of holding lips shut with a finger. In messaging, it can signal silence, a request for privacy, or a discreet secret. It may be used to indicate to others to stop talking about a topic or to keep information confidential in a casual chat. It can also show a moment of self‑control or to quiet a noisy situation in a thread. For design, use it to mark hush tones or to soften warnings with a light mood. Cross‑platform, the look may differ in color or detail; ensure surrounding text clarifies intent. For accessibility, provide accompanying text that explains the meaning to screen readers to convey the intended sense.
