Softball emoji meaning

The softball emoji is a depiction of a white and yellow softball. It has a round shape and is divided by a series of white panels with yellow stitching running around its circumference. It is usually shown as if it is waiting to be hit or caught, and it can be used to indicate a softball game, or an interest in softball, or generally represent any kind of team-sport activity. It could also be used as a metaphor for something being hit or caught, something that is round and simple to understand. It is similar to the baseball emoji but it is bigger and softer than a baseball.

The softball emoji was approved in Unicode 11.0 and added in Emoji 11.0, see related proposal L2/17277L2/17184
