What does the Dagger emoji mean?
1
A wooden-handled knife with a gleaming steel blade angled downward: widely used to represent danger or an imminent threat.
2
A short, pointed steel blade used for stabbing and thrusting, commonly seen in sword and dagger battles. Daggers are meant for close combat and are typically depicted tilted with the handle pointing upward.
As a form of cold steel, a dagger is essentially a compact sword, designed to be wielded with one hand. In emoji sets, a dagger often stands in for a sword when a dedicated sword icon is not available.
