🪮
What 🪮 means
A hair pick with a wide-toothed comb and upright handle — the essential tool for afro-textured hair. The 🪮 Hair Pick emoji (Emoji 15.0, September 2022) was a meaningful addition: everyday representation for Black hair care, styling routines, and the culture around them.
Many designs nod to the iconic fist-handle picks of the 1970s, carrying a bit of that history onto the keyboard.
