07 — In conversation

What 🆎 means from a girl or a guy

Same emoji, different intent depending on who sent it and what came before.

From a girl

When a girl sends you the 🆎 emoji, she’s often just sharing a personal detail about herself. It can be a way to start a conversation about health or genetics. Sometimes, it’s just a quirky little thing she finds interesting. It doesn’t necessarily mean anything romantic or significant.

From a guy

Similar to a girl, a guy sending you the 🆎 emoji is usually just sharing information about his blood type. He might be talking about a medical test or something he read. It’s rarely used with any deeper intention.

How to reply

If someone sends you 🆎, you could reply with: “Me too! 🆎”, “Interesting! 🆎”, “What blood type is your family? 🆎”, or “That's a rare combo! 🆎”.

08 — Apps

What 🆎 means on TikTok, WhatsApp and Discord

The character is the same everywhere, but the artwork and the reading of it change from app to app.

TikTok & Instagram

Generally, the 🆎 emoji simply represents the AB blood type. People use it to identify themselves or to discuss blood type compatibility. In comments and captions it is read the same way — the tone comes from what it sits next to.

WhatsApp draws 🆎 with Apple-style artwork on every phone, so it looks identical for both sides. A message with only 🆎 in it is shown enlarged.

Discord & Slack

Both accept the shortcode :ab:. Discord renders Twemoji, so 🆎 looks different there than on your phone.

Outlook & email

Outlook has no emoji picker on desktop — press Win + . or Control + Command + Space inside the message body, or paste 🆎 from the copy button above.

Same character every time — U+1F18E never changed. Only the drawing did, and only because each vendor redraws its own set. Someone on an older phone still sees the older picture.

1997–2008

Japanese carrier phones

Long before Unicode had emoji, Japanese carriers shipped their own picture sets. 🆎 existed there as KDDI au EB29, SoftBank E534. Those codes are why it survived into the standard at all — Unicode had to keep Japanese messages readable.

2010

Added to the standard

AB Button (blood Type) was approved as U+1F18E and shipped in Emoji 0.6 (2010). Emoji 0.6 is the original 2010 batch that came over from the Japanese sets.

Today

Drawn 9 different ways

Every vendor keeps its own artwork, so 🆎 is redrawn by Apple, Google, Twitter / X, Facebook, OpenMoji, Samsung, Microsoft, WhatsApp, JoyPixels. The character you send never changes — only the picture does.
