Meaning and Use of the Water Emoji

Water is the source of life, and a great mystery. And, in the words of Leonardo da Vinci “Water is the juice of life”.

And what are the meanings of the above five emoji with the image of water? Let’s find it out.

💦 Three drops of water is often also used as “sweat drops”. However, of the entire Unicode set, this is the most “watery” emoji. Use it in any context related to water. It’s hard to think of any negative correlations here.

💧 A drop of water is a minimized version of the previous emoji. And can definitely also mean both water and a drop of sweat, and hence, in addition to its direct meaning, can also be used as a symbol of fatigue or confusion.

🚿 Shower, just a shower. Your most used, of course, is that in the direct sense, but can sometimes be found in the context of rain. Oddly enough, this emoji can also be associated with fatigue. Like, for example, severe physical exhaustion after playing sports for a long time.

🚰 The drinking water icon is the most obvious emoji from this group. It may appear in messages about the benefits of drinking large amounts of water, or, on the contrary, it may represent thirst. It can also work as an “approved” sign.

🚱 The black emoji with the crossed out drinking water icon is the antonym of the previous emoticon. It means danger or uncertainty about quality.
