The "U+1F426 U+200D U+2B1B "🐦⬛" Black Bird" emoji is a Unicode RGI Emoji ZWJ Sequence approved as part of Emoji 15.1 in 2023. It depicts a small black bird, commonly interpreted as a crow, raven, or similar corvid, with a dark body and a pointed beak. The emoji is widely used to represent actual birds, darkness, mystery, intelligence, or omens, and it also appears in Halloween and gothic-themed contexts. Because it is an RGI sequence, it displays as a single glyph on supported platforms, while unsupported systems may show separate components. Its addition filled a notable gap for a generic black bird emoji.
