11 — History
Where the 🛅 Left Luggage emoji came from
It arrived with the 1.0 release of the standard, which dates the left luggage to 2015.
Same character every time — U+1F6C5 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.
Left Luggage was approved as U+1F6C5 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.
