U+1F5B1 "🖱" Three Button Mouse Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

🖱

U+1F5B1 "🖱" Three Button Mouse is a pictographic representation of a computer mouse with three distinct buttons, typically used to denote a peripheral input device in digital contexts, such as user interfaces, instructions, or tech related communications. This character was introduced as part of the Miscellaneous Symbols and Pictographs block in Unicode 7.0, released in 2014, and it visually depicts a classic mouse design with a scroll wheel and three buttons, which was more common in older or ergonomic computer mice before the widespread adoption of two button designs with a scroll wheel. The symbol is often employed in text based discussions about hardware settings, gaming, or software features that involve specific mouse functionality, serving as a compact visual shorthand that transcends language barriers. Its inclusion in Unicode highlights the ongoing effort to standardize digital icons for modern computing and communication.
