Name Badge Emoji
Meaning
A red name badge with a blank white rectangle awaiting a name. Used to identify oneself in settings where others may not know your name, such as a school trip or a work conference.
The tulip-shaped or flame-like design broadly used for this emoji is one of many styles commonly used at kindergartens in Japan. Google's design was previously orange. One Samsung design previously included the initials "LHK".
Microsoft’s design was previously a name badge with a clip for a lanyard, while two previous JoyPixels designs included the text “Hello” and “My name is…”. Toss Face’s initial design resembled an identification card.
This emoji predates the inclusion of emojis within Unicode. It was first added to early Japanese emoji keyboards by au by KDDI in 1999, though its design depicted a label. A later design, released in 2002, looks much more in keeping with the red name badge design broadly used today.
