Looking for an emoji to show that you’re thinking about something? With there being an emoji for just about everything, there’s not one but multiple different emojis you could use.
The most widely used emoji for thinking is what’s commonly referred to as the “thinking face” or “question face” emoji (🤔).
The thinking face emoji consists of a simple face looking upward with furrowed eyebrows and a thumb and index finger resting on its chin. This is used to depict someone in deep thought or pondering something.
It can, however, also be used passive-aggressively to mock someone for a thought or to throw shade.
This is why you will want to consider if this is the best emoji to show thinking in the message you want to convey.
Other emojis for thinking
There are also other emojis that can be used to depict thinking.
Popular choices include the thought bubble (💭) and the light bulb (💡).
These two emojis tend to show different stages of thinking with the thought bubble showing the process of thinking and the light bulb showing a new idea or thought as the outcome.
