🆎️ AB button (blood type) emoji

The AB button represents blood type AB in the ABO blood group system, the rarest of the four main blood types. People with type AB blood have both A and B antigens on their red blood cells but no anti-A or anti-B antibodies in their plasma. This makes them universal plasma donors but limits their blood donation compatibility.

Blood type AB individuals are often called universal recipients because they can receive blood from any ABO blood type (A, B, AB, or O). However, they can only donate whole blood to other AB recipients. This blood type represents only about 3-4% of the population worldwide.

This emoji is used when discussing blood types, medical information, or the rarity of AB blood type. It can represent medical identification, specialized donation programs, or scientific discussions about blood genetics and compatibility.

Could also be called Type AB blood, blood group AB, universal recipient or rare blood type emoji.
