About
The Unlocked emoji (🔓️) is your digital 'ta-da!' moment—the visual equivalent of finally cracking a code or breaking down barriers. People reach for this when they want to celebrate newfound access, whether it's unlocking achievements in games, sharing breakthrough moments, or playfully hinting that someone's defenses are down.

This emoji was part of the original Unicode 6.1 release in 2012, making it one of the earliest lock-related emojis—arriving even before many of the security-focused emojis we use today.
