🩺Stethoscope Emoji
Tagged doctor, heart and medicine, 🩺 stethoscope sits in Unicode's Medical group inside Objects. It was introduced in Emoji 12.0 (2019) at U+1FA7A.
What 🩺 stethoscope means
Health updates, appointments and injuries. 💉 covers vaccinations, blood tests and needle fear, and Apple redrew it without blood droplets in iOS 14.2 in 2020 so it would suit vaccine posts. The drop of blood 🩸 was added in Emoji 12.0 in 2019 after public campaigning for a period emoji. 🩹 is often figurative, marking a temporary fix.
