Thong sandal Emoji

Objects

A single thong-style sandal, typically depicted with a vibrant sole and a Y-shaped strap designed to fit between the first and second toes. This footwear is built for casual, warm-weather environments.

Usage Context

Widely used to signal beach trips, summer vacations, or a relaxed 'off-duty' mindset. People often pair it with emojis like ☀️ or 🏖️ to set a scene for outdoor recreation or tropical travel.

History

While humans have worn thong-style sandals for thousands of years—dating back to ancient Egypt—this specific digital icon was added to the Unicode standard in 2020. Its inclusion reflects the global cultural shift toward recognizing regional footwear, such as the Japanese zōri, which inspired the modern flip-flop design.
