What Does the ๐ต cactus Emoji Mean?
A columnar cactus with two arms, the saguaro shape that has stood for the American southwest in cartoons for a century. Almost every cactus species on Earth is native to the Americas, which makes this one of very few plants in the emoji set with a genuinely continental origin rather than a global one. Everything the shape signifies about heat and emptiness comes from one hemisphere.

About cactus Emoji
Usage: Desert and southwest photography uses it. Houseplant accounts use it, and that community has grown considerably. There is a settled sense about being prickly or standoffish, applied affectionately to people. Neglect-tolerant plant threads carry a good share too, which is its most honest application by far.
Encoded in Unicode 6.0 in 2010. Saguaros grow extremely slowly and may not produce their first arm until somewhere between fifty and a hundred years old, so the two-armed silhouette everybody draws represents a plant that has been standing for a very long time.

Frequently Asked Questions
How old is a cactus with arms?
Saguaros grow very slowly and often do not produce a first arm until between fifty and a hundred years old. The familiar two-armed silhouette is an old plant.
Are cacti only found in the Americas?
Almost entirely. Nearly every species is native to the Americas, with one possible exception in Africa, which makes the family unusually continental for a plant group.
Why is ๐ต used for houseplants?
Because it survives neglect better than almost anything else. That reputation has made it a standard first plant, and the emoji carries the association along with it.
