Unicode Version 17.0
🎙
U+1F399 "🎙" Studio Microphone is a pictographic symbol depicting a classic, vintage-style microphone, often seen on a stand, representing audio recording, broadcasting, or live performance in digital communication. Part of the Miscellaneous Symbols and Pictographs block added in Unicode 6.0 in 2010, it is commonly used in texts and social media to signify podcasting, music production, a public speech, or any context involving sound capture and amplification. The design varies slightly across platforms but universally conveys the idea of professional audio equipment, distinct from the simpler "🎤" microphone emoji by its more elaborate stand and retro aesthetic.
