What does the Shower emoji mean?
A shower head with running water, for washing and morning routines.
Ordinary and refreshing. It marks a routine rather than a mood.

From standard to slang
The history of 🚿

First defined as emoji

Its visual roots
A shower head with water drawn as short strokes, from the carrier set. The strokes are the only motion cue, and without them it is a metal disc.

How its use evolved
Gym posts, routine descriptions and bathroom renovations.
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

Common questions
About the shower emoji
What does 🚿 mean in a text message?
A shower head with running water, for washing and morning routines. Ordinary and refreshing. It marks a routine rather than a mood.
Is 🚿 always positive?
Not always. Its usual readings are shower emoji, 🚿 meaning, bathroom emoji, and irony or the relationship between the people can flip any of them.
Why does 🚿 look different on another device?
U+1F6BF 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 shower 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 shower emoji introduced?
Unicode’s Emoji Versions data first records 🚿 as emoji in Emoji 1.0, dated 2015. Early emoji version numbers can be retrospective, so this date describes its place in the standardised emoji set rather than the first-ever appearance of the underlying symbol.
