Completing nomination on behalf of User:JohnBlackburne, whose rationale (as per WT:AFD) is included verbatim below. On the merits, I have no opinion. UltraExactZZ ^Said~ Did 13:53, 25 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Not a suitable topic for an encyclopaedia. Not notable: the ref is a list in which it's an entry, while googling turns up nothing (literally – zero results). Sole article in Category:Unicode_character, which suggests despite there being thousands of them there's no need for articles on characters. Transwiki to wiktionary if such characters have pages there.--JohnBlackburne^words_deeds 13:44, 25 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to emoji, which already contains brief descriptions of the meanings of some of these Japanese symbols. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 16:48, 25 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete This shows up to me as nothing more than a blue square. Running Chrome on Win7 64, and I'll note I can read any Japanese text just fine. Is this something only Mac users can see or something? Because if that's the case then we should just delete it. §FreeRangeFrog^croak 00:17, 26 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. I can see them on this machine, where I have all sorts of random fonts installed, but not on my laptop. The emoji article displays the set of them, and most are linked; 👷 (a stylized man in a hard hat) goes to construction worker, for instance. This picture is a stylized black and white drawing of a seven petalled flower. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 00:27, 26 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Sorry, not seeing that either... and that article, wow, it's just a bunch of squares. I can display Mongolian script, but apparently not "Emoji". §FreeRangeFrog^croak 00:39, 26 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Seven? I see ten petals at http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U1F300.pdf (five behind/between five). – Fayenatic London 18:28, 27 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, not independently notable as a symbol. if we do merges of such items, merge to emoji. PS its category is very odd, put that up for CFD just now.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 03:46, 26 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to emoji. The only reference on the page seems to be to somebody's personal web page marked "Temporary notes". But it's reasonable to redirect unicode symbols to a table of them. --Colapeninsula (talk) 10:20, 26 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment That source listed is not just "somebody's personal webpage" it's hosted on unicode.org by Markus Scherer, a Google engineer who co-authored the relevant section of the Unicode 6.0 spec. I've added an additional reference link to the unicode symbol table PDF where this character is shown but with no comments/description. His notes, however "temporary" are literally one of the two places on the web where this random symbol (included on the Emoji set on every iOS/Mac device) is even briefly documented. Petree (talk) 21:45, 26 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to emoji, as there is some worthwhile narrative about this character. – Fayenatic London 18:28, 27 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to emoji per other merge recommendations. This character doesn't render for me, but even if it did I would still recommend such a merge. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 07:42, 4 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
