Poop Emoji Meaning:
The poop emoji was first introduced by Apple in 2012 as a part of the iOS 6 update and it quickly became incredibly popular among users. Since the addition of the poop emoji in Apple products, like the iPhone and iPad, other messaging platforms adopted the emoji as well. These included Android devices, Windows operating systems, Facebook, and more.
Unicode 6.0 standard in 2010 is the original source of the poop emoji. The emoji itself was designed by Shigetaka Kurita who worked at Japanese mobile operator NTT Docomo. The NTT Docomo mobile phones are the first phones to have used the poop emojis due to this fact, but they were soon added into the Unicode Consortium in order to be added into other devices and platforms.
Shigetaka created the poop emoji because he heard young Japanese teens using the phrase “unchi” to describe things that they didn’t like. This term was slang used to explain the fact that they didn’t like something. The term translates to “poop” in English. This makes sense as its meaning today is often to playfully or jokingly indicate that something is “crap” or “worthless”. Sometimes it can be used to help describe a messy situation or in order to express frustration or disappointment.
So now that we know that it isn’t an emoji of soft served ice cream, we can take a look at a few custom-made original poop emojis that I made just for you.
