Scorpio Emoji
Symbols
A deep purple or black glyph representing the eighth sign of the zodiac. The shape features a distinct 'm' character with a tail that curls upward into an arrowhead, resembling the stinger of a scorpion.
Usage Context
Widely used by people born between October 23 and November 21 to identify their sun sign. It is frequently sent during birthday celebrations or to signal personality traits traditionally associated with the sign, such as intensity and passion. It often appears alongside other zodiac signs like ♎ or ♐ when discussing horoscopes or compatibility.
History
Included in Unicode 1.1 in 1993, this character was inherited from early computing systems that needed to display astrological signs in limited character sets. Its design has remained remarkably consistent since its adoption into the early emoji sets used by Japanese mobile carriers.
