Why mirror and glitter

By Wikipedia a disco ball is a roughly spherical object covered in hundreds or thousands of mirrored facets; lit by spotlights, it sends spots of light spinning round the room's walls. Disco itself, by Wiktionary, is clipped from discotheque, borrowed from a French word that also means a record library.

Symbols for a disco line

Besides the emoji, Unicode has no disco ball character, so there is no plain disco ball symbol. The disco symbols here are borrowed: notes, four-pointed stars and a crosshatched square for the mirror tiles. Two notes have old Alt codes in code page 437: Alt+13 for ♪ and Alt+14 for ♫.

Questions and answers

Is there a disco ball emoji?

Yes, since Emoji 14.0: Mirror ball, U+1FAA9. A device whose emoji set stops before 14.0 may show an empty box in its place; the typed and drawn mirror balls here are plain keys and stand in.

Where is the disco ball emoji?

Unicode lists it in the group Activities, in the subgroup game, between Piñata and Nesting dolls. So look among the games and toys, not the music: the notes and instruments are in the group Objects.

Is the mirror ball emoji the same as the disco ball?

Yes. Wiktionary defines a mirror ball as a disco ball, lists mirrorball as another spelling and glitterball as a synonym. So the mirror ball emoji, the mirrorball emoji and the glitter ball are one tile.

Is there a disco emoticon?

None that everyone agrees on. For a disco ball emoticon, (#) is a ball of mirror tiles, *.(#).* throws light and ~(^-^)~ dances under it; all three are plain keys.
