◯◯◯◯◯ Olympic rings
Meaning of ◯◯◯◯◯ Olympic rings
In July 2016, WhatsApp messenger released version 2.16.7, in which it
introduced a colored ring logo dedicated to the start of the Summer
Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. On Android and the web, the emoji was in the
emoji panel in the sports section next to
🎳 Pins and bowling balls. On iOS, the emblem
appeared after copying the set of five characters ◯◯◯◯◯.
The
temporary emoji ◯◯◯◯◯ Olympic rings copies the emblem of the
International Olympic Games, held every 4 years in one of the world
countries. The original logo is depicted on the white flag and is one of
the main symbols of the competition.
A sequence of five
identical ⚪ Circles belonging to the
Geometric Shapes Unicode block was used to create the emoji in the form of
Olympic symbols. The elements of the combination are interconnected by
another character – the Zero Width Joiner (ZWJ), approved as part of
Unicode in 1993 and added to emoji in 2018.
The ZWJ symbol
doesn’t have its own appearance and is used to create new characters from
several independent emoji. The daisy chain resulted in a combination that
is displayed on a supported device as a single emoji in the form of the
original Olympic emblem.
In August 2016, the messenger removed
emoji in version 2.16.9. During its existence and up to the present, the
element hasn’t been supported anywhere else, and Unicode hasn’t made the
sequence part of the system. The Unicode Organization didn’t recommend
this emoji for general exchange.
The history of the symbol creation
The emblem of the Olympic Games was designed in 1913 by the founder of the Games, Pierre de Coubertin. The logo consists of five intertwined colored rings and, according to the author’s idea, embodies the unity of the peoples of five continents. It is also understood that the combination of shades includes the national colors of all countries of the world.Interesting Fact: The version of WhatsApp where the sequence of ◯◯◯◯◯ Olympic rings is displayed in color isn’t the only one. The five shades of the symbol are also introduced by the emoji provider Emojidex in August 2017 in version 1.0.34. But on the screen, the element is displayed not as 5 rings, but like a blossoming flower.
