11 — History
Where the 🧷 Safety Pin emoji came from
It arrived with the 11.0 release of the standard, which dates the safety pin to 2018.
Same character every time — U+1F9F7 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.
Safety Pin was approved as U+1F9F7 and shipped in Emoji 11.0 (2018). 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.
