Seedling Emoji

Animals

A small, bright green plant emerging from the ground with two fresh leaves. It shows a young sprout just beginning to take root in the soil.

Usage Context

Used to talk about gardening, the arrival of spring, or general growth. People frequently send it to represent a fresh start, a new project, or the initial stages of a relationship. It is often paired with the 🌿 herb or the 🌳 deciduous tree to flesh out a nature-themed message.

History

Added to the Unicode standard in 2010 as part of Emoji 1.0. Before modern graphical systems, early internet forums and chat rooms often relied on text-based emoticons to represent life, but this glyph was standardized to bring consistent botanical imagery to mobile platforms worldwide.
