Unicode Version 17.0
💀
U+1F480 "💀" Skull is a graphical representation of a human skull, typically depicted as a white or gray cranium with dark, hollow eye sockets and a toothy grin, though the design varies by platform and font. It belongs to the Miscellaneous Symbols and Pictographs block and was added to the Unicode Standard in 2010 as part of Unicode 6.0. This emoji is commonly used in digital communication to convey death, danger, poison, or mortality, but it can also express humor, a sense of being utterly exhausted, or a playful "I'm dead" reaction to something funny or shocking. In many contexts, it serves as a warning symbol or a representation of the Halloween holiday and spooky themes.
