Where Gem Stone Came From
The 💎 emoji was added to Unicode 6.0 in 2010. Its use has expanded from meaning a literal gemstone to representing anything precious, valuable, or excellent.
How it looks on different phones
Apple's gem is typically a clear blue diamond with many facets. Google's version is often a more vibrant purple or blue, also with distinct cuts. Samsung's gem can appear flatter and less translucent, with a simpler blue color. Twitter/X usually shows a classic, bright blue faceted diamond shape, similar to Apple's.
Easy to mix up with
- 💍 People might confuse 💎 with 💍 because both feature a precious stone, but 💍 specifically includes a ring.
Who Reads It Differently

Unwritten rules
