Keycap: 8 8️⃣ Emoji: Meaning & Usage
An eight keycap — the numeral 8 as a button, representing the eighth position and the particularly auspicious number in East Asian cultures. Eight (八, ba in Chinese) sounds similar to 'prosper' (发, fa) in Mandarin, making it extremely lucky in Chinese culture — Chinese people pay premium prices for phone numbers and license plates containing 8s.
The number eight's symmetry also gives it aesthetic appeal, and turned sideways it becomes the infinity symbol. As a keycap, 8️⃣ marks eighth items in sequences and carries special luck associations in East Asian cultural contexts.
