tooth Emoji

The tooth emoji represents a person, body part, gesture, or human activity — this category is deliberately broad and detailed so that messaging can represent people, professions, and gestures with more accuracy and inclusivity than earlier, more limited emoji sets allowed.

Category context: The People & Body category is Unicode's largest emoji group, covering body parts, hand gestures, family compositions, professions, and activities — many of which support optional skin-tone modifiers to represent human diversity.

Cataloged under Body Parts within the People & Body category, tooth is the 36th of 2418 emoji How To Type Any Symbol lists in this category, and was introduced in Emoji version 11 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+1F9B7.

💡 Good to know: Hand-gesture emoji can carry different, sometimes conflicting, cultural meanings in different countries — a friendly gesture in one culture can be offensive in another, so use caution in international communication.
