Meet the solid white circle — clean, pure, and the other half of ⚫. It represents blank slates, light mode, and minimalist aesthetics. In Japanese culture, white circles can mean "correct" (like a checkmark), and the emoji sometimes appears in that context. Also used as a moon stand-in, a Go game stone, or just a simple pale dot in color-coded systems. Use for clean themes, purity, or as a light colored marker. The tone can shift depending on context — a message to a friend reads differently than one to a coworker.
What is the official Unicode name for ⚪?▼
Each emoji has an official name assigned by the Unicode Consortium, which may differ from common names used in apps. The White Circle emoji's official designation is listed in the Unicode CLDR (Common Locale Data Repository). Shortcode names like those on Slack or Discord are platform-specific.
Can screen readers interpret ⚪?▼
Yes. Screen readers announce emoji by their Unicode name, so ⚪ would be read aloud as "White Circle." When using multiple emoji in a row, screen readers read each one individually, which can be overwhelming — so use them sparingly in accessible content.
What is the shortcode for ⚪?▼
On platforms like Slack and Discord, you can type `:white_circle:` to insert the White Circle emoji. On GitHub, the same shortcodes work in issues and comments.
