Right Thought Bubble

🗭 is the comic-book thought bubble—private thinking shown as a cloud, not spoken words. A text glyph: fonts draw it differently, no vendor emoji art.

What 🗭 means

Private inner voice—a thought not said aloud. Cloud outline plus a trail of small circles means thinking; a pointed tail means speech. Comics used it to narrate a mind: Japanese manga research traces printed balloons before 1923, and one sits on page 1 of Action Comics #8 (January 4, 1939). By the 1990s, superhero comics had moved inner monologue into caption boxes, making the cloud look vintage. Unicode added it in 2014 among dingbat-style bubbles from the Wingdings and Webdings fonts.

Inward, comic-flavored—an aside, not dialogue.

For spoken words, use a speech bubble instead.

Questions people ask

Why does 🗭 show as a box on some devices?

Because that device's fonts have no glyph for it. The character is still correct and still copies correctly — the box is a missing glyph, not a broken character.
