🪦 Headstone Emoji Meaning

📖 Meaning & Usage

The headstone emoji, 🪦, depicts a gray or stone marker, often rectangular, used to mark a grave. It typically symbolizes death, mourning, and remembrance of the deceased. While its primary meaning relates to mortality and memorials, it is also used metaphorically to represent the end of something, such as a project, relationship, or era. It can convey a sense of finality or closure. The headstone emoji was introduced in Unicode 13.0 in 2020, adding a more direct representation of death and remembrance to the emoji lexicon.
