About
The Headstone emoji (🪦) is your go-to for marking the dramatic end of something—whether it's your diet after seeing dessert, your sleep schedule during finals, or genuinely memorializing someone who's passed. It's become the digital equivalent of dramatically declaring something dead and buried, though it also serves its more solemn purpose in conversations about loss and remembrance.

Added in 2020 during a year when conversations about death and loss became unavoidably central to global discourse, making it one of the most emotionally loaded emoji debuts in recent history.
