Information
The Scorpio emoji is the zodiac glyph for Scorpio (♏) — basically an edgy, curvy M that grows a scorpion tail and points like it has receipts. It pops up in bios, birthday posts (Oct 23–Nov 21), and any message where you want to radiate “mysterious, loyal, don’t-test-me” energy. Online, people drop it with 🦂🔥🖤🌑 when they’re announcing Scorpio season, posting thirst traps with a plot twist, or joking that their “revenge arc” is simply astrology. It’s also used ironically to blame dramatic texts on star charts: “I’m fine.” (sends 34 screenshots) ♏.
On Apple devices, it appears as a deep purple square with rounded corners and a clean white Scorpio glyph centered inside; the last stroke hooks into a sharp little arrow curling up-right, super crisp and instantly recognizable. Think: sleek nightclub sign meets occult app icon. Some platforms render it as the standalone black glyph ♏ instead of the purple tile. Culturally, it vibes with spooky season, moody playlists, and water-sign intensity (with a fixed-sign stubborn streak) — great for flirting (“intense eye contact, proceed with caution”) or for sarcastic memes about emotional depth and strategic silence. And yes, people confuse it with the scorpion animal emoji 🦂, but this one is the star chart version, not the desert crawler.
Definition
Scorpius is the eighth astrological sign of the zodiac. The Scorpion. Intense, passionate, powerful, obsessive. The zodiac is a method of dividing the sky into twelve non-overlapping 30 degree sections. The twelve sections total 360 degrees and together make up the full sky visible from earth during the complete annual orbit of the earth around the sun.

Emoji History The emoji code/ image log of changes.
This emoji was part of the proprietary / non-standardized emoji set first introduced by Japanese carriers like Softbank. These emojis became part of the Apple iPhone starting in iOS 2.2 as an unlockable feature on handsets sold in English speaking countries.
In iOS 5 / OSX 10.7, the underlying code that the Apple OS generates for this emoji was changed.
The code generated for this emoji was changed slightly in iOS 7 / OSX 10.9 (a variation selector was added) advising the OS to display character emoji style instead of black and white text when available. We don't mind Apple, thank you! We just love our emojis! [Sources 11438-emoji-var.pdf 13.7 Variation Selectors (unicode.org)]
