Folding hand fan Emoji

Objects

A vibrant, open folding fan, typically depicted with red ribs and a patterned, pleated arc. It mimics the handheld accessory used to cool oneself by fanning air toward the face.

Usage Context

Widely used to signal heat, summer weather, or a sense of dramatic flair. It is a popular go-to when discussing traditional dance, keeping cool, or trying to look composed during a stressful situation. It is frequently paired with 🔥 for hot weather or 💃 to represent classic dance styles.

History

Added to the Unicode standard in 2023, the design draws from the Japanese sensu and various Mediterranean fan styles. These objects have served as both practical tools for cooling and ornate status symbols in global fashion for centuries, long before they appeared in digital communication.
