Hammer Emoji

Objects

A classic metal-headed claw hammer positioned at a slight angle, showing a rounded head and a wooden or composite handle. This is the universal visual shorthand for construction, home repair, and manual labor.

Usage Context

Use this to signal that you are working on a project, fixing something broken, or literally 'hammering out' the details of a plan. It is frequently sent alongside 🔧 or 🧱 when discussing DIY home improvements or trade work.

History

Included in Unicode 6.0 in 2010, the hammer was added to provide digital representation for common household tools. Its design draws from early clip-art collections that were standard in desktop publishing software during the late 1990s.
