Definitions & examples

Represents good luck, Irish pride, and positive energy. Often used around St. Patrick’s Day or when wishing someone success.

  • Your friend is about to take an important exam.

    You’ve got this — sending all the good luck ☘️

General

Used to give cheerful encouragement or show a “lucky charm” vibe in friendly messages.

Cross-cultural

In Ireland, ☘️ is a national symbol tied to St. Patrick and Christianity, while in the U.S. it’s become a general emblem of luck and celebration — especially during parades and parties on March 17. Outside these contexts, it’s often just a cheerful green accent.

Heads-up

This emoji has three leaves, not four, so if you want the “rare lucky clover,” use 🍀 instead.
