#OnThisDay in 2012, Apple released iOS 6, bringing official Unicode 6.0 support to the emoji keyboard! 📱 It also swapped the gavel design for a hammer 🔨, sparking years of "wasn't there a gavel emoji?" confusion. View all iOS 6 designs 👇🔗 emojipedia.org/apple/ios-6.0/

A comparison graphic showing the evolution of Apple's Hammer emoji. The iOS 5.1 version displays a wooden judge's gavel swinging down onto a wooden block, complete with motion lines indicating a strike. The iOS 6.0 version replaces the gavel entirely with a realistic metal claw hammer positioned at a 45-degree angle.
