What is the best target for this redirect? As Bloom isn't an article, the redirect currently at time of listing leads to a disambiguation page listing meanings such as Bloom syndrome and Bloom (software) which aren't particularly relevant to the symbol. The [https://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/1F33C/index.htm official] English description is Blossom. If we can't use that for some reason, I would suggest a compromise of Flower, but that already has a separate Unicode symbol ({{-r|β}} U+2698 [https://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/2698/index.htm FLOWER]) redirecting there. Ping: {{u|TadejM}}. Certes (talk) 08:13, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
:Sorry, I just noticed Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2019 April 16#πΌ which I somehow overlooked earlier. We've already decided this as Blossom, and a bolder editor has just retargeted to there, so we can probably close this off unless there are objections. Certes (talk) 09:51, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
:Speedy close as moot; redirect does not currently go to Bloom. ππ²π«ππͺππ«π«πππ ππ₯π’ ππ¬π¬π¬π¬π¬π«π¦π’π°π± (talk) 09:53, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

:::...Or not.{{pb}}Okay so, can someone please protect the page while we hash this out?
In any case, my vote goes to Target to Blossom as per the linked previous discussion. ππ²π«ππͺππ«π«πππ ππ₯π’ ππ¬π¬π¬π¬π¬π«π¦π’π°π± (talk) 10:04, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
::::I'm afraid that editors who maintain disambiguation links are likely to keep reverting to the status quo ante of Blossom, if only once each, to fix the templates which use the redirect and clear the errors from the [https://dplbot.toolforge.org/templates_with_dab_links.php daily report].

- Comment The emoji is called blossom but it is further commented that it is a daisy blossom.[https://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/1F33C/index.htm] Taking the user to a page describing a different concept (the flowers of stone fruit trees (genus Prunus) and of some other plants with a similar appearance) is therefore misleading. I get further information from [https://codepoints.net/U+1F33C Codepoints] that the CLDR project assigns these additional labels, e.g. for search in emoji pickers: flower. I was not aware of the 2019 discussion but feel that this requires revisiting in the light of the said information. For this reason, I support redirecting this emoji to bloom or to flower. --TadejM my talk 10:14, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
- :The actual [https://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U1F300.pdf official standard] describes code point 1F33C as "BLOSSOM = daisy" (their emphasis). This seems confusing, as daisy flowers are not blossoms. The appearance of the symbol is not mandated and varies between implementations. Certes (talk) 11:43, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
:::Blossom is a synonym of flower. The code point specifically represents daisy, but it may be used more broadly as a depiction of a flower. --TadejM my talk 13:06, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
::::I fail to see why it is necessary to edit war and when called out over edit warring, being accused of bad faith editing. {{smiley}}
::::But you have the [https://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U1F300.pdf Official Unicode Consortium code chart] saying the character represents blossom. And you have the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Redirects_for_discussion/Log/2019_April_16#%F0%9F%8C%BC 2019 RfD-discussion]] where the community consensus was to keep the character redirecting to blossom. I have seen no arguments to doubt Unicode.org nor the redirect discussion. The Banner talk 13:23, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
::::::The only person edit warring and acting in bad faith here is you. --TadejM my talk 13:37, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
:::::::The usual protocol in such cases is bold, revert, discuss. You made a bold change. I reverted it. Now we're discussing it. Simply repeating the reverted change might be considered impolite. But let's debate the most helpful target for the redirect, not who's the best editor. Certes (talk) 15:03, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
:::{{tpq|The appearance of the symbol is not mandated and varies between implementations}} is important. For example on the same system (Xubuntu Linux) I see very different representations in the different browsers I have available - see [https://imgur.com/GPNjAYF screenshots] (I can't work out the license for the Firefox or Konqueror emoji to upload them locally). In summary the Chromium is 15px; Firefox is a flower with a yellow centre, four very widely spaced white petals at the 1, 4, 7 and 10 O'Clock positions, a short green stem growing out of green grass; Knoqueror's emoji is black and white showing a small circle in the centre surrounded by 7 petals. Thryduulf (talk) 13:41, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
::::Agreed. This means that it cannot be limited solely to the flowers of stone fruit trees (genus Prunus) and of some other plants with a similar appearance. --TadejM my talk 13:53, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
:::::Even so, linking to a disambiguation page is not a good idea. The Banner talk 14:23, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
::::Thanks for the first constructive comment. I agree. Linking to Flower is better. ---TadejM my talk 14:25, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
:::::As a method of expanding this argument out: Here is [https://emojipedia.org/blossom a link to Emojipedia's article] on the emoji in question; the site documents the emoji's varied appearance on plenty of different sites, applications, and operating systems. ππ²π«ππͺππ«π«πππ ππ₯π’ ππ¬π¬π¬π¬π¬π«π¦π’π°π± (talk) 20:30, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

- Retarget to Flower per {{u|Plantdrew}} in the previous discussion and because blossom is a bolded aka therein. -- Tavix (talk) 21:24, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
- Retarget to Flower, but I wish we could just dump the emoji information on people instead. Either in a table we already have or the Wiktionary setup. Targeting the DAB page makes no sense as there is exactly one link there that is relevant to the emoji: Flower. The word blossom is used pretty interchangeably with bloom/flower - the best example is the emoji itself as it does not even depict a blossom, which are flowers that have five petals rather than the eight I count on my system). ― Synpath 05:18, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
- :For the record, I count five on my system, but as we've already noted, emoji are notoriously inconsistent with details like this, and I've already posted a link to Emojipedia detailing a wide variety of different images pulled up by this emoji on different software/hardware/fonts.{{pb}}Another example is π§, which can depict, depending on software/hardware:
-Apple Juice (iOS, Samsung, Microsoft/Windows)
-Fruit punch?? (Modern Android default, Facebook)
-Orange Juice (Twitter/Discord)
-Sunny D??? (WhatsApp)
-Lemonade (OpenMoji)

- ::Fair point, but it does seem like most depictions do not limit themselves to five petals, and some are clearly flowering herbaceous plants rather than tree blossoms. ― Synpath 17:25, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
- :It is always possible to add a paragraph in the article as it has been done with β, the astronomical symbol for a comet. --TadejM my talk 09:07, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
- ::Without some sort of notable reason, I feel like including unicode/emoji info here is too indiscriminate. ― Synpath 17:19, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
- Retarget to Flower: most likely what people would search for with this emoji. DrowssapSMM 13:52, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
