10 — History
Where the 🎚️ Level Slider emoji came from
It arrived with the 0.7 release of the standard, which dates the level slider to 2014.
Same character every time — U+1F39A U+FE0F 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.
Level Slider was approved as U+1F39A U+FE0F and shipped in Emoji 0.7 (2014). Phones usually get new artwork about a year after approval, in a system update.
Every vendor keeps its own artwork, so 🎚️ is redrawn by Apple, Google, Twitter / X, OpenMoji, Samsung, Microsoft, WhatsApp, JoyPixels. The character you send never changes — only the picture does.
