12 โ History
Where the ๐ New Button emoji came from
This one is older than Unicode emoji: Japanese carriers were drawing it on their handsets years before the standard existed, which it finally joined in 2010.
Same character every time โ U+1F195 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.
Long before Unicode had emoji, Japanese carriers shipped their own picture sets.
๐ existed there as
NTT DoCoMo E6DD, KDDI au E5B5, SoftBank E212.
Those codes are why it survived into the standard at all โ Unicode had to keep Japanese messages readable.
New Button was approved as U+1F195 and shipped in Emoji 0.6 (2010). Emoji 0.6 is the original 2010 batch that came over from the Japanese sets.
Every vendor keeps its own artwork, so ๐ is redrawn by Apple, Google, Twitter / X, Facebook, OpenMoji, Samsung, Microsoft, WhatsApp, JoyPixels. The character you send never changes โ only the picture does.
