History & usage: The character depicts EMOJI COMPONENT CURLY HAIR. The name’s tokens signal general roles: EMOJI marks a digital symbol used in everyday messaging; COMPONENT shows it is part of a set of meaningful pieces for building pictorial icons; CURLY suggests a curved, styled form; HAIR describes the subject and helps readers identify the element’s visual cue. These tokens matter for typographic labeling and cataloging in educational materials, grammars, and reference guides. Practical uses include a scholarly note in a dictionary entry that documents how curly hair is represented as a discrete emoji component; a teaching primer that explains how emoji are composed from smaller elements; and an archival transcription that records this symbol when compiling a historical collection of pictorial marks. Because it belongs to the Supplemental Symbols and Pictographs range, editors treat it as a historical or specialized variant in certain print and digital editions. Cross‑platform appearance can vary; provide concise alt text for accessibility.
