How it works

Unicode has 11 plane characters, and four of them are emoji. Airplane, U+2708, leads them above Copy, so airplane emoji copy and paste is one press. 101 tiles follow: departure and arrival, plain text planes, flight paths and 38 combos.

The airplane symbol in plain text

The plain text group opens with the same character followed by the text selector, U+FE0E, so it takes the colour of your words. Only Airplane and Small airplane have that form: Unicode gives departure and arrival the picture alone. Seven more planes point up, down, left and north-east. The three from Unicode 16.0 are the newest, and a device with no font for them shows an empty box.

Type the term, get the line

Pointing finds those seven planes and paper finds four stand-ins. Layover, red eye and go-around each find a combo, explained in the list under the tool. The seven ASCII drawings, 30 columns at the widest, need a monospaced font: a proportional one bends them.

Tips
  • A plane emoji is not always a plane: CLDR files the word under eight emoji, four airplanes, three pilots and Baggage claim.
  • For a plane symbol in a strict name field, take Airplane, no selector: one character that asks for no picture.
  • In the route lines NYC and LON are city codes, not airports. Swap in your own after pasting.

Questions and answers

Why does my airplane symbol copy paste as an emoji?

U+2708 is one character with two looks, and the app picks. Unicode's default for the bare character is the text shape. U+FE0F after it asks for the picture, U+FE0E for the text: take that tile. An app can still overrule it.

Is there a paper plane emoji?

No. Unicode's emoji list, version 18.0, has four emoji named for a plane, and none is paper. The stand-ins here are a drafting wedge ⌲, an arrowhead ➢, an ASCII dart and the combo Page facing up, then Airplane.

What do 🛫 and 🛬 mean?

Departures and arrivals, the two airport signs: that is how Unicode's chart glosses Airplane departure and Airplane arrival. CLDR files check-in under the first and landing under the second. It files takeoff, runway and airport under nothing.

Is there an airplane mode emoji?

No emoji is airplane mode. The combo here is Airplane, then Mobile phone off. The setting stops a device sending radio signals, and is named for the airlines that prohibit transmitting in flight.

How this list was compiled: The emoji, their names, code points and Emoji version numbers come from emoji-test.txt, version 18.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/emoji/emoji-test.txt); names are the CLDR short names printed in that file, in sentence case. The search words are from the CLDR English annotations (https://github.com/unicode-org/cldr/blob/main/common/annotations/en.xml and https://github.com/unicode-org/cldr/blob/main/common/annotationsDerived/en.xml, main branch). The text forms come from emoji-variation-sequences.txt, version 18.0.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/emoji/emoji-variation-sequences.txt). Which look a bare character takes by default comes from the Emoji_Presentation property in emoji-data.txt, version 18.0.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/emoji/emoji-data.txt), read on 2026-09-20. Every character that is not an emoji was checked against UnicodeData.txt, version 18.0.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/UnicodeData.txt), and a note that names a character uses its name from that file. Notes about what a character is used for come from the annotations in NamesList.txt, version 18.0.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/NamesList.txt). The Unicode version of a character comes from DerivedAge.txt, version 18.0.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/DerivedAge.txt).
