Genie

Description

The genie emoji depicts a vibrant, often blue figure with a traditional turban and smoke billowing from the lower half, embodying the mystical djinn of folklore. Commonly used to signify wishes, magic, or fantasy, it can also evoke playful themes of hope and imagination. A fun example is in birthday messages, where friends might use it to express wishing someone "all their dreams come true." Rooted deeply in Middle Eastern culture, genies symbolize both guidance and the unpredictable nature of granting desires. Did you know that in many stories, the genie represents both blessings and potential consequences of uncareful wishes? The emoji version is 5, released in 2017.
