📿 Prayer Beads emoji

The Prayer Beads emoji 📿 was approved under Unicode 8.0 in 2015. On most major platforms, the emoji depicts a string of beads with a golden center bead adorned with a tassel. On mast platforms the beads are red. The beads are red and brown in the Microsoft version, brown in the WhatsApp version, and purple in the Twitter version. The color of the tassel varies by platform, and the string of beads may appear realistic or stylized.

Prayer beads are used for religious purposes in several different religions. This means that a person may, depending on their religious affiliation, see the Prayer Beads emoji 📿 depicting a rosary, a mala, or a Muslim misbaha. In any case, the Prayer Beads emoji 📿 is often used to refer to prayer and religious observance, often alongside the Folded Hands emoji 🙏.
