Where does 馃彂 Field Hockey emoji come from?
The Field Hockey emoji 馃彂, also popularly called Hockey emoji outside of the United States and Canada, was approved under Unicode 8.0 in 2015 as Field Hockey Stick and Ball. On most major platforms, the emoji depicts a field hockey stick facing towards the left next to a field hockey ball. The color of the ball and appearance of the stick varies depending on the platform. On WhatsApp, the stick is instead facing towards the right. On Twitter, the handle of the stick is not shown.
The Field Hockey emoji 馃彂 can be confused with the Ice Hockey emoji 馃彃. While field hockey is played on a field with a ball, ice hockey is played on ice with a puck. However, due to their similar appearances, uses of the two emoji may sometimes overlap or the two emoji may sometimes used to together.
While both field hockey and ice hockey can be referred to as hockey, this is less commonly done in North America. In the United States, field hockey is less popular than ice hockey. Typically, only international or collegiate field hockey is covered by American media. While field hockey is more popular in Canada than it is in the US, ice hockey is the national winter sport of Canada and is significantly more popular in that country as well.
Because of this, the Field Hockey emoji 馃彂 appears to be more commonly used in Europe, Asia, and Africa. Belgium, Spain, India, and Argentina have some of the highest-ranked field hockey teams in the world.
