The Unicode Standard officially calls ๐ ฑ๏ธ the negative squared Latin capital letter B emoji, but itโs commonly referred to as the B button emoji, a much more convenient name โฆ because seriously thatโs a long name.
B button emoji was approved under Unicode 6.0 in 2010. Across platforms, it appears as a white, capital letter B on a red square. It was originally intended to represent the blood type B alongside A (๐ ฐ๏ธ), AB (๐), and O (๐ พ๏ธ) because you totally need to represent your blood type in emoji form all the time, right?
Want to know a blood type fun fact?
In East Asian countries like Japan, there is a popular belief that a personโs blood type influences their personality, character, and compatibility with others. People there took to the B button emoji to communicate their blood type on social media, especially in dating and romantic contexts. Aha.
In the US, the B button emoji went down a completely different path. The Los Angeles-based street gang, the Bloods, have been known to change words with the letter C, the first letter of their rival gang the Crips, to Bs (e.g., boolinโ (cooling) and Bompton (Compton)).
The B button became especially popular, and controversial, on the internet after YouTuber Swolotag trolled Hillary โ๐ ฑ๏ธlintonโ in a widely viewed video in October 2016 called โSpell Icup Ni ๐ ฑ๏ธ๐ ฑ๏ธa.โ
Here, the B button emoji replaced the Gs in nigga, with nibba. The video plays on stereotypes of black people and feminists and seems deliberately designed to โtriggerโ so-called libtards.
Into the late 2010s, the use of the B button emoji quickly became associated with problematic and sometimes deliberately racist memes on social media like Reddit and Instagram known as โdeep friedโ memes.
As all memes do, the B button emoji also inspired spinoffs, such as the P button emoji, ๐ ฟ๏ธ. A popular deep fried meme character is Peter Griffin, from the cartoon Family Guy, referred to as Beter in the meme. After dozens of iterations of Beter Griffin, meme makers struck back against the lazy overuse of the B button with their own Peter Griffin emojiโfeaturing the P button emoji instead.
