Purple Circle

A circle shown in the color of purple. May be used to represent anything purple.

During 2024 this emoji began to be used by French users of social media platforms to reference a term for a serious form of assault. This was due to its phonetic similarity to the color purple within the French language.

Additionally, as with other color-based shape emojis (most notably the hearts), this emoji may also used to express an affinity with or appreciation for various people, places, groups, objects, or ideas associated with the same color.
