Desert Island

A small sand-covered island with a central palm tree. Occasionally also features a coconut or two.

During the summer of 2024 this emoji became associated with then-Vice President of the Untied States Kamala Harris, referencing a viral clip of a speech made in May 2023 where she stated: "You think you just fell out of a coconut tree? You exist in the context of all in which you live and what came before you.”

Desert Island was approved as part of Unicode 7.0 in 2014 and added to Emoji 1.0 in 2015.
