U+1F001 "🀁" Mahjong Tile South Wind Unicode Character

U+1F001 "🀁" Mahjong Tile South Wind is part of the Mahjong Tiles block, which was introduced in Unicode version 5.1.0 in 2008 to support the classic Chinese tile game Mahjong. This particular tile represents the South Wind, one of the four directional winds used in many Mahjong sets, where each wind tile often serves as a honor tile that can form specific winning hands or determine seating order and round progression during a game. Visually, it displays a stylized depiction of the Chinese character for south, or an abstract wind symbol, inside a tile shaped square, aligning with the traditional design of Mahjong tiles that are also present in other standard sets like the Bamboo, Dots, and Characters suits.
