Electric plug Emoji

Objects

A grounded two-prong electrical plug attached to a short cord, typically depicted in black or white. It represents the physical connection between a device and an electrical outlet.

Usage Context

Used to signal that a phone or laptop is low on battery and needs charging, or to describe someone 'recharging' their own energy after a long day. It is often sent alongside the battery emoji or the electric light bulb when someone has a new, bright idea.

History

Added in Unicode 6.0 in 2010, the plug was introduced to help users quickly describe the status of their mobile devices during the early era of daily smartphone recharging, which became a universal experience as screen time increased.
