Burp finds the bubbles
Burp finds Bubbles and the one combo made from it, because CLDR files that word under no other emoji. Shampoo finds Lotion bottle and boba finds Bubble tea. No emoji is filed under foam, suds or fizz: Foam here is five Bubbles in one tap, and Cup with straw is filed under soda.
One tile is two emoji joined
Eye in speech bubble is Eye and Left speech bubble joined, and where they do not join both arrive. Speech balloon is from Emoji 0.6 and Soap from 11.0. Bubbles, from 14.0, is the one to check where it is going. o O o . o O is keyboard characters only.
Tips
Β° β and β are plain text, so they take the colour of your words. Β°γβγΒ°γβγΒ° makes a divider.
The thought bubble .γoO( ) is empty on purpose: paste it, then type the thought between the brackets.
Questions and answers
Is there a soap bubble emoji?
Bubbles is the nearest. CLDR files it under soap, a word it shares only with the Soap emoji, and under clean and floating. It is U+1FAE7, from Emoji 14.0. By Wikipedia a soap bubble lasts only a few seconds: the Pop combo acts that out.
Is there a speech bubble emoji?
Yes, five. Unicode names two of them balloons, Speech balloon and Thought balloon, and three bubbles: Left speech bubble, Right anger bubble and Eye in speech bubble. CLDR files all five under bubble, along with Bubble tea and Bubbles.
Why does the bubble emoji show as a box?
The device has no picture for it. UTS #51, Unicode's emoji report, says a system without a font for a character shows a missing glyph indicator. Send Soap or Bathtub, which are older, or a text bubble made of ordinary characters.

How this list was compiled: Built by script on 2026-09-19, not typed by hand. The 20 emoji, their names, code points and Emoji version numbers come from emoji-test.txt, version 18.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/emoji/emoji-test.txt); names are the CLDR short names printed in that file, in sentence case. Bubbles is U+1FAE7, Emoji 14.0, in the group Objects, subgroup household, printed between soap and toothbrush. The search words are from the CLDR English annotations (https://github.com/unicode-org/cldr/blob/main/common/annotations/en.xml and https://github.com/unicode-org/cldr/blob/main/common/annotationsDerived/en.xml, main branch). CLDR files bubbles under bubble, bubbles, burp, clean, floating, pearl, soap and underwater; burp, floating and underwater belong to no other emoji; bubble is shared by seven emoji (the five speech and thought bubbles, bubble tea and bubbles), pearl by oyster, bubble tea and bubbles, soap by soap and bubbles, clean by soap, bubbles and toothbrush; no emoji is filed under foam, suds, fizz or wash. Eye in speech bubble as a joined sequence is from emoji-zwj-sequences.txt, version 18.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/emoji/emoji-zwj-sequences.txt); that an unsupported joined sequence falls back to its separate emoji is from UTS #51, Unicode Emoji, version 18.0, section 2.5 (https://www.unicode.org/reports/tr51/). Left speech bubble and Right anger bubble also have text style rows in emoji-variation-sequences.txt; this page lists the emoji form only. Every character that is not an emoji was checked against UnicodeData.txt, version 18.0.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/UnicodeData.txt), and a note that names a character uses its name from that file. The definitions and Mandarin readings of U+6CE1 and U+6CAB are the kDefinition and kMandarin fields of Unihan_Readings.txt, version 18.0.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/Unihan.zip). Wikipedia, Soap bubble (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soap_bubble): a soap bubble lasts a few seconds, many bubbles make foam, and the double bubble conjecture was proven in 2000. Wikipedia, Bubble tea (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bubble_tea): Taiwan, the 1980s, also known as pearl milk tea. Wikipedia, Speech balloon (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speech_balloon): speech balloons are also called speech bubbles, and the thinking kind a thought bubble.
