Common questions
About the label emoji
What does 🏷️ mean in a text message?
A price tag, used as the sale and tag emoji. Commercial and neutral. It usually points at a price or a discount.
Is 🏷️ always positive?
Not always. Its usual readings are sale emoji, price tag emoji, 🏷️ meaning, and irony or the relationship between the people can flip any of them.

U+1F3F7 U+FE0F identifies the emoji; the picture is a font, drawn separately by Apple, Google, Microsoft and Samsung. Only the artwork changes, never the character.
How do I copy and paste the label emoji?
Use the copy button at the top of this page. 🏷️ is a character, not an image, so it pastes into messages, captions and filenames as ordinary text.
When was the label emoji introduced?
