Objects

A dark wooden casket shown at an angle, featuring a lid and metal handles. It is the definitive representation of burial and final resting places.

Usage Context

Used frequently in online conversations to discuss mortality, horror movies, or dark humor. It often appears in memes related to 'dead' reactions—such as feeling exhausted or laughing so hard you feel like you've passed away—often paired with 💀 or ⚰️.

History

Added to the Unicode standard in 2005, the coffin emoji was included to bring common funeral-related imagery to messaging platforms. Its design roots trace back to early pictographic symbol sets used in Japanese mobile carrier email systems to add emotional weight to difficult news.
