Copy the 'explicit' or 'E' symbol from songs in the iOS Music app

I have songs in my Music app that are marked as 'explicit'.

Is there a way to copy this 'explicit'/'E' symbol so I can use it somewhere else?

He is probably looking for the following unicode character : ️Negative Squared Latin Capital Letter E

The letter : 🅴

NB: The letter is not visible on my Windows. My iPhone displays it.


The 'E' is not text, it is artwork.

iTunes on your Mac has the same artwork. This artwork is located within the iTunes app. This is how you can find it:

  • Go to /Applications
  • Right click 'iTunes' and select 'Show Package Contents'
  • Now go to 'Contents' -> 'Resources' -> 'English' (or any other installed language)
  • In here you will find the artwork in png format. The 'ViewLineItemRatingE' is the one you are looking for. The @2x suffix means that it is double the resolution and is meant for retina displays.

explicit large

Note: I do not know about copy rights on this artwork. This might differ between countries as well.
