Where does 馃暪锔� Joystick emoji come from?
The Joystick emoji 馃暪锔� was approved under Unicode 7.0 in 2014.

The Google version of the emoji has a blue base. Depending on the platform, the joystick is either depicted realistically or is stylized.
Joystick controllers, such as the one depicted in the Joystick emoji 馃暪锔�, were used with the early video game consoles of the 1970s and 1980s, such as the Atari 2600. Even by the 1990s, joysticks had largely been replaced by handheld controllers with more buttons.
