โ๏ธ Meaning: A tapering rod or needle-like structure circularly wrapped by a snake. It is either shown completely black or with a dash of color along with a square background.
The โ๏ธ Medical Symbol represents the Rod of Asclepius, which is often shown with a pair of entwining snakes and not a single one. It symbolizes medicine, the medical department, and the overall theme of healing.

How and When to Use the โ๏ธ Medical Symbol Emoji
- Very similar to the usage of โ Ophiuchus, โ๏ธ too could be brought into the caption for posts/reposts that are about healing; physical healing; frontline workers, the medical department, along with mental, emotional, psychological, and spiritual healing too.
- Contrary to popular belief, the snake in โ๏ธ is believed to be sacred and full of wisdom and healing. This means, you can use this emoji even while talking about knowledge; the kind of knowledge that heals. Like, โYou could heal yourself โ๏ธ With knowledge of the right thingsโ.
- Generally, a snake is associated with poison and venom, which is exactly the opposite of its image in โ๏ธ. So, in cases of contradiction, this emoji may be helpful. For example, โSimplicity and complexity need each other โ๏ธโ or โOpposites attract โ๏ธโ.
- Since โ๏ธ has a heavy reference to Greek mythology, you could use this emoji in general contexts either about or referring to the Greek myth.
- โ๏ธ can be used for all forms and types of medication and healing; both mainstream and alternative/niche aspects.
