12 — History
Where the 🥇 1st Place Medal emoji came from
Approved as part of Emoji 3.0, the 1st place medal has been on phones for years now — counting from its release, 10.
Same character every time — U+1F947 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.
1st Place Medal was approved as U+1F947 and shipped in Emoji 3.0 (2016). 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.
