The drop of blood is a single red bead. It means injuries, donating blood, and the very real side of cuts and scrapes.
It also frankly marks periods and medical themes, a small symbol that says something is bleeding.
In texting, 🩸 does not carry a widely used hidden or slang meaning, so you can usually take it at face value. People send it just as it looks, to add a little visual touch or set the mood of a message. Only a handful of emoji have a separate texting code, and 🩸 is not really one of them.
Its official Unicode name is the Drop of Blood emoji. In everyday chat most people just call it the drop of blood emoji or describe what it shows. Copy and paste it from the button at the top of this page.
