Thought Balloon Emoji
What does the Thought Balloon emoji mean?
Sometimes called a thought balloon or thought cloud, it’s the large, cloud-shaped bubble you see in cartoons and comics that reveals what a character is thinking.
A cloud with irregular, uneven edges — like real clouds — connected by a short trail of smaller puffs. This emoji depicts a thought process and thoughtfulness. The visual device was first used in comics and later adopted by cartoons.
If youre thinking something over, you can show it not only with a thinking face but also with this cloud.
