History & Platforms
Trombone was added in 2025 as part of Emoji 17.0. It has artwork in Twemoji, Google's Noto, OpenMoji, but not yet in Microsoft's Fluent. Apple, Samsung and WhatsApp draw it in their own styles, which is why the same emoji can look a little different from phone to phone.
Under the hood ๐ช is the single code point U+1FA8A.
