About dress Emoji
Usage: People use ๐ when shopping, planning an outfit, hyping a night out, or posting about weddings, proms, and events. It's a staple of fashion and style content and wardrobe chatter. Sometimes it appears in the endless 'blue-and-black or white-and-gold?' debate about the viral dress photo.
The dress arrived in Unicode 6.0 in 2010.
