About
The Detective emoji (๐ต๏ธ) is your go-to for when you're feeling investigative, whether you're actually sleuthing through someone's Instagram from 2015 or just want to signal that you're onto something suspicious. It's the perfect blend of 'I'm watching you' and 'mystery is afoot,' complete with that classic trench coat and fedora combo that screams old-school gumshoe.

This emoji was one of the earlier additions to Unicode, arriving in 2012 when emoji sets were still relatively small, making it a veteran of the digital mystery-solving game.
One emoji wins every day. Will this one best tell the story of 12/29/25? Get rewarded for guessing right.
