Seat Emoji

Meaning

A seat, which could refer to any form of place to sit, with the distinction that a seat is generally fixed, and is not a chair which can be moved.

This emoji is intended to be a seat on some form of mass transit, such as on an airplane, train, or bus. As such, it is typically depicted as a padded blue chair with armrests and a white headrest cover, viewed at an angle. Apple's design includes patterned fabric. In contrast to other platforms, Toss Face's design depicts a purple armchair.

May be used to reference the slang phrase โ€œI'm satโ€, meaning โ€œIโ€™m paying attentionโ€ or โ€œIโ€™m listening,โ€ or the โ€œI'm seatedโ€ meme, expressing anticipation or readiness to watch something unfold.

Google previously displayed this as an orange wooden chair. Samsung's first design showed a red chair, while an early Microsoft design was yellow and a previous Facebook design was turquoise.

This emoji predates the inclusion of emojis within Unicode. It was first added to early Japanese emoji keyboards by Docomo in early 1999, though its design depicted a chair. SoftBankโ€™s first design, released in late 1999, looks much more in keeping with the mass-transit seat depicted by contemporary versions of this emoji.
