About
The Deaf Woman emoji (🧏♀️) shows a woman making the universal gesture for 'I can't hear'—hand cupped behind the ear. It's your go-to for representing deafness, hearing difficulties, or those relatable moments when you genuinely couldn't catch what someone said in a noisy room. This emoji brings important representation to digital conversations while also serving as a subtle way to say 'come again?' without the awkwardness.
