What does 🌻 Sunflower mean?
A tall sunflower with golden petals around a dark, seed-filled centre. It stands for happiness, positivity and sunshine, so it is a lovely way to brighten someone’s day. Since 2022 it has become a widely recognised sign of solidarity with Ukraine, where sunflower fields are an iconic sight. In the UK, a sunflower lanyard discreetly signals a hidden disability. Summer field photoshoots use it constantly.
🌻 Sunflower is an emoji from the Animals & Nature category (flowers), added in Emoji 0.6 in 2010. People use it in messages about flower, outdoors, plant and sun.
