Curly loop Emoji

Symbols

A thick, rounded blue line that curls into a vertical loop, resembling a stylized piece of string or a hand-drawn squiggle. It depicts a continuous line that crosses over itself to form a knot-like shape.

Usage Context

Frequently used to represent a hair curl, a lasso, or a decorative flourish in casual text. Because of its visual similarity to a 'looped' character, it is often associated with the 'looped square' command icon found on Apple keyboards, or simply used to add a playful accent to a sentence, similar to 〰 or ➰.

History

Added to the Unicode standard in 2010 as part of Unicode 6.0, this symbol was based on specialized Japanese mobile phone character sets that used such shapes to draw attention to important text or to denote a 'loop' in early digital graphic communication.
