When did ๐ŸŽ‰ come out?

Party Popper belongs to the very first generation of emojis, standardized in Unicode 6.0 in 2010 after years of use on Japanese phones. It shows the small cone that bursts with confetti and streamers.

๐ŸŽ‰ in captions, comments and DMs

On TikTok and Instagram, ๐ŸŽ‰ marks milestones: follower counts, launches, graduations and "we did it" posts. Brands use ๐ŸŽ‰ to announce new products, sales and anniversaries, and friends use it in birthday stories and graduation photos.

Is ๐ŸŽ‰ easy to misread?

๐ŸŽ‰ on someone's breakup or job loss can feel like you are celebrating their bad news, even as a joke. In a work chat, one ๐ŸŽ‰ is a nice touch, but a long row of them under a serious announcement may look unprofessional.

How ๐ŸŽ‰ looks on different devices

๐ŸŽ‰ is a standard Unicode emoji. On iPhone, iPad and Mac it appears as Apple's colorful popper; Android, Samsung and Windows show their own designs, sometimes pointing in a different direction.
