🧹Broom Emoji
The broom emoji 🧹 carries the codepoint U+1F9F9 and has been in the standard since Emoji 11.0 (2018). It belongs to Objects → Household Items.
What 🧹 broom means
Chores, cleaning routines and moving-in posts. 🧹 and 🧼 anchor the tidying content, 🛏️ and 🛋️ mean rest, and 🚪 is how people announce leaving a conversation. Emoji 13.0 filled obvious gaps in 2020 with the mirror 🪞, window 🪟, plunger 🪠, mouse trap 🪤 and bucket 🪣. 🧻 gained a second meaning that same year during the panic buying of toilet paper.
Unicode tags this one cleaning, sweeping and witch and files it under Objects → Household Items.
