The glittering flashes of sparkles. One of the world&#39;s most popular emojis, it is generally depicted as a cluster of three, yellow&nbsp;four-point stars, with one large sparkle and two small ones to its left or right.

Commonly used to indicate various positive sentiments, including love, happiness, beauty, gratitude, and excitement, as well as&nbsp;newness or cleanliness.

May also be used as <a href="https://blog.emojipedia.org/its-not-just-you-the-sparkles-emoji-is-everywhere/">a form of ✨emphasis✨ or to convey sarcastic or mocking tones</a>.

As of late 2023, an icon similar to the sparkles emoji is also often used within tech platforms to represent a feature that utilizes&nbsp;artificial intelligence.

Both <a href="/microsoft/windows-10-anniversary-update/sparkles/">Microsoft</a> and&nbsp;<a href="/twitter/twemoji-1.0/sparkles/">Twitter&rsquo;s</a>&nbsp;sparkles were&nbsp;previously&nbsp;multicolored, while&nbsp;Samsung&rsquo;s sparkles were previously depicted on a night sky, suggesting <a href="/sparkler/">firework sparklers</a>.&nbsp;
