A short-lived&nbsp;<a href="/olympics/" title="🏊 Olympics">Olympic</a> Rings emoji, which&nbsp;was an <a href="/emoji-zwj-sequence/">Emoji ZWJ Sequence</a>&nbsp;comprised of five <a href="https://codepoints.net/U+25EF">◯ Large Circle</a> characters. These were combined using a <a href="/zero-width-joiner/">zero width joiner</a> between each character and display as a single emoji on WhatsApp.

This emoji was <a href="http://blog.emojipedia.org/whatsapp-adds-olympic-rings-emoji/">released</a> in version 2.16.7 of WhatsApp on&nbsp;July 24, 2016 then removed in version&nbsp;2.16.9 on August 15, 2016. At no stage was this sequence documented by Unicode, nor supported by any major vendor.
