What Skull means and when to use it
Laughter β the current way to say "I'm dead" at something funny
- Reacting to a message so funny you cannot form words β it replaced π for most people under 25
- Self-deprecating reaction to your own bad luck or bad decision
Watch out Never send it to announce an actual death or in condolence messages. It reads as a joke every single time, which makes it uniquely bad in serious contexts.
How to use it Click the copy button above to grab π, then paste it into iMessage, WhatsApp, Slack, Instagram, X or any text field. Emoji are standard Unicode characters, so they work everywhere β iOS, Android and Windows each draw them in their own style.
Display support This emoji was added in Emoji 0.6 (2010). It renders on iOS 6 and later, and on Android 4.4 and later β older systems show a box or a black-and-white glyph.
