U+2698 "⚘" Flower Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
⚘
U+2698 "⚘" Flower is a graphic symbol representing a stylized flower, often depicted as a four petaled blossom or a rosette, and is classified within the Miscellaneous Symbols block. It was originally included in Unicode as a dingbat for use in typographic decoration and computer interfaces, such as menu markers or bullet alternatives, and is sometimes used to convey floral themes, beauty, or growth in digital communication. Unlike more common floral emojis like 🌸 or 🌻, this symbol predates the widespread adoption of emoji and retains a more abstract, compact form, making it suitable for text based designs and symbolic annotations across various platforms.
