U+1F38F "🎏" Carp Streamer is a pictographic representation of a traditional Japanese windsock, typically made from paper or fabric, that is flown outdoors to celebrate Children's Day (Kodomo no Hi) on May 5th. Known as koinobori, these streamers are shaped like carp and are often arranged in a line from largest to smallest, symbolizing a family, with the black carp representing the father, the red or orange carp the mother, and smaller colorful carp for each child. The streamers are displayed to honor children's health, happiness, and future success, drawing on the carp's cultural symbolism of perseverance and strength for its ability to swim upstream against strong currents.
