U+1F4A9 "💩" Pile of Poo Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

💩

U+1F4A9 "💩" Pile of Poo is a pictorial symbol officially encoded in the Unicode Standard in 2010 as part of the Miscellaneous Symbols and Pictographs block, and it is commonly depicted as a smiling, rounded mound of feces with large eyes and often a subtle grin. Despite its scatological nature, the emoji is widely used in digital communication to convey themes of mischief, humor, irony, bad luck, or general disapproval, and it has become a staple of internet culture for expressing playful rudeness or mockery. Its design varies somewhat across platforms, such as Apple's version with a more cartoonish face and Google's original depiction that lacked eyes, but the core concept remains consistent as a lighthearted and versatile symbol in text messaging and social media.
