Lungs Emoji

People

A detailed, pinkish-red anatomical representation of the two lobes of the human lungs. It shows the bronchial tree branching out through the center of the organ.

Usage Context

Used to discuss health, medical conditions, or the simple act of breathing. It is frequently sent during conversations about air quality, heavy exercise, or deep relaxation techniques. People often use it alongside 😮 to express being out of breath or 💨 when talking about air movement.

History

The lungs were added to the Unicode standard in 2020 as part of Emoji 13.0. Their inclusion was largely driven by a public proposal to provide a more specific way to discuss respiratory health and biology in text-based digital communication.
