Meaning & usage

What does the Nazar Amulet emoji mean?

The blue glass bead worn as protection against the evil eye.

Protective and decorative in equal measure. It suits a wish for someone's safety, and it turns up in bios purely for the colour.

How to use 🧿 naturally

Warding off bad luck, protective captions and aesthetic bios.

Object emoji usually point to an activity or topic rather than an emotion. They work well as labels in lists, captions and announcements, where the image makes the subject easy to scan.

From standard to slang

The history of 🧿

  1. 2018

    First defined as emoji

    According to Unicode’s Emoji Versions data, Nazar Amulet was first defined as emoji in Emoji 11.0, dated 2018. The first release under the current annual numbering.

  2. Before the keyboard

    Its visual roots

    A blue glass bead with white and pale blue rings, the nazar boncuÄŸu of Turkey and the eastern Mediterranean. It is worn to turn away the evil eye, and the emoji arrived in 2018 after a proposal to represent it.

  3. Today

    How its use evolved

    Warding off bad luck, protective captions and aesthetic bios.

Dates follow Unicode’s official Emoji Versions chart. Versions before Emoji 1.0 are labelled retrospectively. See the history of emoji.

When to use it

Using 🧿 clearly

Warding off bad luck, protective captions and aesthetic bios. It lands as nazar emoji or evil eye emoji when the rest of the message supports that reading, and it is the surrounding words that do the deciding — so in a sensitive, professional or cross-cultural conversation, say the thing outright as well.
