A flower emoji whose symbolism shifts by tradition — grief in one story, spring renewal in another, decor in daily use.
the hyacinth is part of the Haft-Seen table, symbolizing spring and rebirth
tied to the story of Hyacinthus, associated with mourning and remembrance
used simply to tag spring, gardens, or a gift of flowers, nothing symbolic
Before you send it: Fine for general spring or floral posts; the mythological weight rarely comes up in casual use.

12 — History
Where the 🪻 Hyacinth emoji came from
It arrived with the 15.0 release of the standard, which dates the hyacinth to 2022.
Same character every time — U+1FABB 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.
Hyacinth was approved as U+1FABB and shipped in Emoji 15.0 (2022). 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.
