U+1F4BE "💾" Floppy Disk Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
💾
U+1F4BE "💾" Floppy Disk is a pictographic representation of a 3.5 inch square magnetic storage medium encased in hard plastic, which was a standard data storage device primarily used from the 1980s through the early 2000s. As part of the Miscellaneous Symbols and Pictographs block, this codepoint encodes the visual symbol of a floppy disk, often rendered with a blue or gray square body, a metallic or colored sliding shutter, and a central hub or label area. In digital communication, the emoji serves as a nostalgic icon for saving data, especially in user interface metaphors where it represents the "save" function, even though the physical medium it depicts is now largely obsolete in modern computing.
