Meaning

A pick, a hand tool with a pointed metal head on a handle, used for breaking rock, soil, or hard ground. In conversation it commonly refers to mining, digging, construction, or manual labor. It can also convey working hard at a tough task, or a rugged, hands-on mood. In gaming contexts it often represents mining or resource gathering, as in block-building games. Usage varies, so it can be read literally as a tool or figuratively as effort; context usually clarifies which is meant.

Pick — Approved as part of Unicode 7.0 in 2014.
