U+1F322 "🌢" Black Droplet Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

🌢

U+1F322 "🌢" Black Droplet is a typographic symbol depicting a solid, dark teardrop or water droplet shape, often used to represent a single drop of liquid, such as water, oil, or blood, in digital text and user interfaces. It belongs to the Miscellaneous Symbols and Arrows block and was introduced as part of Unicode 6.0 in 2010, serving as a graphical icon that can denote moisture, condensation, or a drip in contexts like weather reports, medical symbols, or design elements. Unlike the more common blue droplet emoji (💧), this character is purely black and monochrome, making it suitable for plain text or low-color environments. Its usage is relatively rare in everyday communication but can appear in specialized technical documentation, vintage computing fonts, or as a stylistic decoration in ASCII art.
