🔢Input Numbers Emoji

🔢 input numbers — U+1F522, added in Unicode 6.0 (2010). Unicode groups it with the other 39 alphanumeric symbols emojis under Symbols.

What 🔢 input numbers means

Squared letter and word buttons, most of them inherited wholesale from Japanese carrier emoji and never rethought since. 🆒, 🆕, 🆓 and 🆗 still see use as labels, and 🆘 is read as a genuine call for help. 🅰️, 🅱️, 🅾️ and 🆎 are blood-type buttons, a category that matters in Japan, where blood type is discussed the way star signs are elsewhere.

Unicode tags this one 1234, input and numbers and files it under Symbols → Alphanumeric Symbols.
