- Appears in the Unicode block Supplemental Symbols and Pictographs.
History & usage: HANDBALL depicts the handball emoji. In general, name tokens indicate function or role, such as HARD SIGN, SOFT SIGN, MARK/ACCENT, or LETTER, and shape or qualifier tokens like ROUNDED, TALL, NARROW, or BROAD help guide typographic use. These tokens signal how a symbol is interpreted in writing and in display, beyond its obvious image. The character sits in the Supplemental Symbols and Pictographs block as an Extended Pictographic item, a status that marks it as part of a historical and specialized class of pictographs. Practical usage includes: in dictionaries, grammars, and educational primers that describe emoji meanings and symbol categories; in scholarly editions and archival transcription projects that document contemporary iconography and its evolution; and in typographic revivals or specimen books that reproduce emoji as typographic pictographs for study or display. If cultural_capsule is present, a sentence would appear here verbatim, but it is not. Across platforms, keep accessibility in mind with alt text and clear context in captions so readers understand the symbol's meaning and purpose.

Compatibility & troubleshooting

Web pages: ensure your CSS font stack includes a general fallback; avoid relying on images for common symbols to preserve accessibility and copyability.
