Meaning
A speech bubble whose tail points to the left, shown in grey or white depending on the platform. It carries the same core meaning as the standard speech balloon — talking, commenting, conversation — but its muted styling gives it a quieter, more formal feel. It is far less used than 💬, and mostly appears where a subtler, less cartoonish conversation marker is wanted.
