Headstone

Headstone Emoji

Objects

A grey, rectangular slab of stone standing upright, often engraved with a cross or a simple indentation to mark a burial site. It represents the final marker for a grave.

Usage Context

Used to discuss death, memorials, or funerals in a somber capacity. It also frequently pops up during the Halloween season or in gaming contexts to signal that a character has 'died' in a match, often paired with 💀 or ⚰️ to emphasize the loss.

History

Added to the Unicode standard in 2020 as part of Emoji 13.0. Its inclusion addressed a long-standing gap in digital communication, providing a direct way to reference mortality or cemetery settings without relying solely on skull icons.
