1993, wow. That’s OG.
Comment on What was the original use of the ‘☠️’ emoji

The skull and crossbones has pirate connotations. Or just for danger/death.
It was added to Unicode in 1993 so it’s an original emoji.

It was also originally more used in a context of rebellion and trying to be edgy/cool. Rather than the irony wrapped use it has nowadays.

The skull is what’s used. Skull and crossbones has never really had another meaning.
