Meaning & usage
Hammer (🔨) conveys an emotion, object or visual idea as an emoji.
Use it in messages and captions; emoji artwork and interpretation differ between platforms.
U+1F528 identifies this exact hammer form; copying the character preserves its Unicode identity, while its appearance depends on the font or emoji renderer.
hammer can act as a visual label for its named subject in a caption or list. It is not a standardized replacement for a written label in technical or safety information. hammer occupies one Unicode code point. A similar-looking letter, punctuation mark or emoji is not necessarily interchangeable with 🔨 in search, filenames or text processing.
