🕳️Hole Emoji
🕳️ is the hole emoji, U+1F573 U+FE0F, one of 15 in the Emotions set. It arrived with Unicode 7.0 (2014) and is commonly used for hole.
What 🕳️ hole means
Most of this set is manga vocabulary rather than emotion in the usual sense - 💢 for a popping vein, 💫 for seeing stars, 💦 for sweat, 💤 for sleep. They work as annotations on other emoji more than alone. 💯 comes from the red 100 a Japanese teacher marks on a perfect paper, and now just means full agreement.
Unicode tags this one hole and files it under Smileys & Emotion → Emotions.
Copy variants
hole carries a variation selector (U+FE0F) that forces colour rendering. Drop it and the same character renders as monochrome text.
