clamp Emoji

The clamp emoji represents an everyday object, commonly used literally when referring to that specific item in conversation, or as a quick visual bullet-point/icon in lists, status updates, and notes.

Category context: The Objects category is a broad collection of everyday items — electronics, tools, household items, clothing, and more — used to add concrete, literal visual references to conversations about daily life and work.

Cataloged under Tool within the Objects category, clamp is the 239th of 266 emoji How To Type Any Symbol lists in this category, and was introduced in Emoji version 0.7 of the Unicode Emoji Standard. Technically, it is represented by a single Unicode code point rather than a combined sequence, making it one of the simpler emoji to encode and display reliably across platforms. Its Unicode code point sequence is U+1F5DC.

💡 Good to know: Because Objects emoji are often used as visual icons rather than literal references, their appearance (color, shape) may matter more than technical accuracy for casual use.
