Hook Emoji

Objects

A sharp, curved metal tool typically used for snagging, hanging, or pulling objects. The design features a pointed tip meant to pierce or secure materials, often associated with heavy-duty labor or sport fishing.

Usage Context

Used in text to talk about fishing trips, construction work, or hardware. In slang, it frequently refers to the idea of being 'hooked' on a person or habit, or as a visual shorthand for being tricked or caught in a lie, similar to the intent behind 🎣 or ⚓.

History

Added to the Unicode standard in 2020 as part of Emoji 13.0, the hook was introduced to provide more specific tool-based iconography, reflecting the transition of everyday objects into digital communication icons for casual conversation.
