What 🛕 means in other countries
Added in 2020 specifically for Hinduism, though it sometimes gets used loosely for other South Asian temples too.
Represents temples and festivals like Diwali or Navratri in everyday messaging.
Occasionally stretched to mean “temple” generically, including Buddhist or Jain sites, due to limited emoji options.
Before you send it: Use it specifically for Hindu contexts when precision matters; it’s not a universal “temple” stand-in.

11 — History
Where the 🛕 Hindu Temple emoji came from
It arrived with the 12.0 release of the standard, which dates the hindu temple to 2019.
Same character every time — U+1F6D5 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.
Hindu Temple was approved as U+1F6D5 and shipped in Emoji 12.0 (2019). 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.
