Kin no unko (金のうんこ) or "golden poo" is a Japanese cultural phenomenon. It is a symbol of good luck, as the name is a pun meaning "golden poo" and "good luck" in Japanese. By 2006, 2.7 million mobile phone charms in this form had been sold. The symbol, or something similar to it called unchi, appears as an emoji available on many mobile devices that support a Unicode expansion made in the summer of 2014. The charm is unusual outside of Japan but was available from the English-language website ThinkGeek.
The flame ornament atop the Asahi Beer Hall in Tokyo is called Kin no unko for its similarity.
