11 — History
Where the 🚯 No Littering emoji came from
Approved as part of Emoji 1.0, the no littering has been on phones for years now — counting from its release, 11.
Same character every time — U+1F6AF 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.
No Littering was approved as U+1F6AF and shipped in Emoji 1.0 (2015). 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, Facebook, OpenMoji, Samsung, Microsoft, WhatsApp, JoyPixels. The character you send never changes — only the picture does.
