☕ Hot Beverage is the coffee emoji, though it works just as well for tea or hot chocolate. It stands for mornings, coffee breaks, cozy moments and the energy you need to start the day.

How old is the ☕ emoji?
The ☕ character is older than emoji itself: U+2615 has been part of Unicode since version 4.0 (2003) as a plain black-and-white symbol. It only became a colorful emoji when emojis were standardized in Unicode 6.0 in 2010. Its official name is Hot Beverage, which is why it works for coffee, tea or hot chocolate.
How ☕ is used on social media
On TikTok, ☕ tags coffee recipes, café vlogs and morning routines, and it can also mean gossip ("spill the ☕").
Good to know before you send ☕
If ☕ shows up black and white, your device is displaying the old text symbol. The colorful version needs an invisible variation selector (U+FE0F), which the Copy Emoji button on this page includes.
How ☕ looks on different devices
☕ is a standard Unicode emoji. On iPhone, iPad and Mac it appears as Apple's steaming coffee cup; Android, Samsung and Windows show their own designs.
