How it works

The face in clouds emoji is Face without mouth joined to Fog: U+1F636 U+200D U+1F32B U+FE0F. It is new in Emoji 13.1, and CLDR, Unicode’s list of search words, files it under absentminded, clouds, fog and head.

What an older device shows

UTS #51, Unicode’s emoji standard, says that a system with no single picture for a joined sequence ignores the joiner and shows the separate emoji. So a device from before Emoji 13.1 shows a mouthless face followed by fog. That pair is a tile here, beside the pieces of the two faces that arrived with it.

Seven emoji, all joined

Emoji 13.1 added seven emoji that are not skin tone variants, and every one is a joined sequence: this face, Face exhaling, Face with spiral eyes, Heart on fire, Mending heart, Man: beard and Woman: beard.

  • Emojipedia records that how much of the face the cloud hides varies a great deal from one maker to the next.
  • Wind face is the only emoji CLDR files under both cloud and face. This one is filed under clouds, with an s.
  • ⚇ is a plain character, White circle with two dots. Unicode’s names list points to it from Face without mouth.

Questions and answers

What does the face in clouds emoji mean?

Unicode gives it search words, not a meaning, and two of them are head and clouds. Wiktionary records head in the clouds as said of a person who is cut off or distracted from the present situation.

What is the difference between fog and foggy?

Fog is U+1F32B, from Emoji 0.7, and is the second piece of this face. Foggy is U+1F301, a separate emoji from Emoji 0.6. Besides the face, they are the only two emoji CLDR files under fog.

Is there a face without mouth emoji?

Yes: U+1F636, from Emoji 1.0, the first piece of this one. CLDR files it under silent, speechless, blank and quiet, and none of those words is carried over to the face in clouds.
