Worm Emoji

Animals

A pinkish, segmented worm depicted in a simple, curved form. It features a recognizable ribbed texture that mimics the anatomy of a common earthworm.

Usage Context

Used to represent nature, gardening, or the concept of something small and wriggly. It frequently appears in discussions about fishing, composting, or when referencing the idiomatic 'early bird gets the worm.' It is often used alongside emojis like 🌿 to describe gardening or 🎣 to talk about bait.

History

This emoji was added to the Unicode standard in 2020 as part of Emoji 13.0. Its inclusion addressed a long-standing gap in the animal library, providing a more accurate biological representation than the previously used 🐛, which represents an insect larva or caterpillar rather than an annelid.
