Owl finds a goose
The search box matches parts of words in each tile's name and in CLDR, Unicode's list of search words for emoji. So owl finds Owl, a hieroglyph owl, two text owls, a Japanese hoot, Night owl and Goose, which CLDR files under fowl. Wise finds Owl alone. Penguin finds the emoji, a keyboard penguin and Penguin parade.
Bird symbol copy and paste: ten single characters
Bird symbols from other systems holds ι³₯, its simplified form ιΈ, the characters for crow and feather, and six Egyptian hieroglyphs. Unicode's own database describes four of those by species, a house sparrow and a quail chick among them. Search symbol to see only the ten. A phone with no hieroglyph font shows six empty boxes.
Tips
The Text style switch changes two tiles, Bird and Dove. No other bird has a text form.
Nest with eggs and Empty nest are filed with Unicode's plants, and Egg with its food. All three are here.
Questions and answers
Is there a hummingbird emoji?
No. No emoji is named hummingbird and CLDR files none under the word, so there is no one-character answer. Our stand-in is Bird followed by Hibiscus, named Hummingbird, approximately, and a search for hummingbird finds it.
Is there a cardinal emoji?
No. The nearest thing is our combo of Red circle and Bird. CLDR does list the word cardinal, but only for four arrows: up, right, down and left. No emoji is named after the bird.
Is there a crow or raven emoji?
Yes, under another name: Black bird, Emoji 15.0. It is the only emoji CLDR files under crow, raven, rook or caw. It is a joined sequence, Bird plus Black large square, so an app without the picture shows those two parts.

How this list was compiled: Built by script on 2026-09-19, not typed by hand. The 25 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 first 22 are every entry of that file's animal-bird subgroup; nest with eggs and empty nest are filed there under plant-other and egg under food-prepared. 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). CLDR lists the word bird for 22 emoji: the subgroup without phoenix, plus nest with eggs. No emoji name and no CLDR search word contains hummingbird, and the word cardinal is listed only for the up, right, down and left arrows (the four diagonal arrows have intercardinal). 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). That black bird and phoenix are joined sequences built on U+1F426 is from emoji-zwj-sequences.txt, version 18.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/emoji/emoji-zwj-sequences.txt). 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. The six hieroglyph descriptions are the kEH_Desc values of Unikemet.txt, version 18.0.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/Unikemet.txt). The meanings and readings of the four Han characters are the kDefinition, kMandarin, kJapaneseKun and kSimplifiedVariant values of the Unihan database, version 18.0.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/Unihan.zip), with radical 196 resolved through CJKRadicals.txt (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/CJKRadicals.txt). Wikipedia's article Cross-linguistic onomatopoeias records chun chun, jjaek jjaek and chirik-chirik for birdsong, kaa kaa for a crow and hΕ hΕ for an owl (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-linguistic_onomatopoeias). The 8 text birds, the 5 words and the 10 combos are this site's own choice, and the combo names are our own. All sources were checked on 2026-09-19.
