Candle Emoji
Meaning
A burning candle, as lit when taking a bath or the power is out. Depicted as a white, pillar-shaped candle with a flame and wax dripping down its sides.
Used for a wide array of content, such as various senses of light, birthdays, remembrance, relaxation, and topics concerning Christmas, religion, magic, and Halloween.
Notably featured in the Summoning Circle meme on Twitter (now X), where users place candle emojis in a ring around someone or something they wish to summon. Similarly, single candle emojis can also accompany a user's aspirations or desires, suggesting either a prayer or the casting of a spell.
Apple's candle is in a silver holder, as was an earlier Microsoft design. Samsung’s candle was previously pink, perhaps as in a birthday cake.
