About this emoji

🗨️ Left Speech Bubble is an emoji in the Smileys & Emotion group, emotion subgroup, first released in Emoji 2.0 (2015).

CLDR, the Unicode project that supplies emoji names in many languages, gives it the English keywords balloon, bubble, dialog, left and speech; that is what emoji keyboards match when you search.

It is the character 🗨 (U+1F5E8 LEFT SPEECH BUBBLE) followed by the variation selector U+FE0F, which asks for the colourful emoji style. Without the selector, many systems show a plain text symbol instead.
