📿 Prayer Beads

The 📿 Prayer Beads emoji belongs to the clothing, filed by Unicode under Objects. Typical contexts are beads, clothing, necklace and prayer. Further official keywords are religion.

📿 fits messaging apps, social networks and anywhere a short visual cue helps. On SmileyZone it is filed under Religion and Belief. It joined the standard with Emoji 1.0 in 2015, so support on current devices is reliable. Its code point is U+1F4FF.

• A single 📿 is often enough to set the tone.
• Fits messages about beads, clothing, necklace and prayer.
• Often seen near 💄 Lipstick, 🪖 Military Helmet and ⛑️ Rescue Worker’s Helmet.

Prayer beads exist in almost every religion: the Catholic rosary with 59 beads, the Islamic misbaha with 33 or 99 for the names of God, the Buddhist mala with 108. In each case the number is part of the practice.

Unicode names the emoji neutrally as “prayer beads”, but vendor designs differ markedly – some show a mala, others a rosary. What arrives therefore depends partly on the device.
