🪊 Trombone

🪊 Trombone is one of the musical instruments in Unicode's Objects group. People send it when the subject is brass, instrument, jazz and music. Unicode also files it under sad and slide, which shows how widely it is read.

🪊 fits messaging apps, social networks and anywhere a short visual cue helps. On SmileyZone it is filed under Music and Instruments. It joined the standard with Emoji 17.0 in 2025, so support on current devices is reliable. On older phones and operating systems it may still show as an empty box. Its code point is U+1FA8A.
