Frequently asked about square emojis
When were the colored squares added?
Unicode 12 in 2019 added 🟥 🟧 🟨 🟩 🟦 🟪 🟫 alongside the matching colored circles. They were proposed to enable more accessible color coding in apps that can't render arbitrary graphics. Wordle (2021) leveraged them as its signature share format.
Why is there no pink or grey square?
Unicode 12's color set covered the 7 'primary plus brown' colors but skipped pink, grey, and pastel shades. Designers and accessibility advocates have proposed expanding the set, but no new square colors have been approved as of Unicode 16. Workarounds include using grey via combining text and shapes.
