Amphora emoji, jug emoji, vase emoji: one character

Amphora is the only emoji CLDR files under jug. The nearest shapes are gathered beside it: Jar, Funeral urn and Honey pot.

Two handles, by name

By Wikipedia the Greek word amphoreus joins amphi, on both sides, and phoreus, carrier: the jar is named for the two handles it was carried by. The records of Knossos spell it a-pi-po-re-we in Linear B and draw it as one sign. Both are tiles here.

  • If the two Linear B tiles show as empty boxes, the device has no font for that script.

Questions and answers

What does the amphora emoji mean?

Unicode gives it a name and no meaning: Amphora, U+1F3FA, in the emoji list since Emoji 1.0. Its search words point three ways: a jug for cooking and drink, the zodiac sign Aquarius, and a tool or weapon.

What is an amphora?

By Wikipedia, a jar to store and carry goods, with pointed bottom, two handles and narrow pouring neck. Amphorae moved liquid and dry goods by land and sea, mostly wine, olive oil or fish sauce, and still help date shipwrecks.

Why is the amphora emoji filed under Aquarius?

Aquarius is Latin for water-carrier, by Wikipedia, and the Greek tradition drew the constellation as a single vase pouring out a stream. The zodiac sign itself, β™’, is a picture of water.

Is there a vase emoji?

No emoji is named vase, and CLDR files nothing under vase or pottery. Amphora is the closest, which is why the combo Flowers in a vase sets a bouquet beside it.

How this list was compiled: Built on 2026-10-07 from sources read that day. The emoji, their names, code points and Emoji version numbers are from the Unicode emoji list, 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. 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). Amphora is U+1F3FA, Emoji 1.0, the last entry of the subgroup dishware and of the group Food & Drink; Jar comes before it and the first globe of Travel & Places after it. CLDR gives it eight search words (amphora, Aquarius, cooking, drink, jug, tool, weapon, zodiac), files no other emoji under jug and only the zodiac sign under Aquarius; no emoji is named vase and nothing is filed under vase or pottery. 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); the two text forms are rows of https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/emoji/emoji-variation-sequences.txt. The Han definitions and readings are from the Unihan database, version 18.0.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/Unihan.zip). The Greek word and its two parts, the Latin plural, the Linear B spelling at Knossos, ideogram 209 and what an amphora was used for are from Wikipedia, Amphora (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amphora, CC BY-SA 4.0). That Aquarius is Latin for water-carrier, that its sign pictures water and that the Greek tradition drew it as one vase are from Wikipedia, Aquarius (constellation) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aquarius_(constellation), CC BY-SA 4.0). The four lines and the twelve combos are this site’s own work. Licence: own work: the selection, the combo names, the text drawings and the notes are this site's own. Emoji names, code points and search words are Unicode and CLDR data, and the Han definitions are Unihan data, used under the Unicode License v3 (https://www.unicode.org/license.txt).
