U+1F5AB "🖫" White Hard Shell Floppy Disk Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
🖫
U+1F5AB "🖫" White Hard Shell Floppy Disk is a pictographic representation of a 3.5-inch floppy disk, a now-obsolete data storage medium that was widely used in the 1990s and early 2000s before being replaced by more compact and higher-capacity technologies like USB flash drives or cloud storage. Its name distinguishes the icon's white or light-colored appearance from other floppy disk symbol variants, and it is typically used in digital contexts to evoke nostalgia, represent the save function in user interfaces, or reference legacy computing hardware. This character belongs to the Miscellaneous Symbols and Pictographs block of the Unicode standard, which includes many retro and everyday technology symbols.
