Boat Emoji

How this list was compiled: Built on 2026-10-09 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). Ship is U+1F6A2, Emoji 0.6, in the group Travel & Places, subgroup transport-water, whose ten emoji are Lighthouse (Emoji 18.0, no tile here), Anchor, Ring buoy, Sailboat, Canoe, Speedboat, Passenger ship, Ferry, Motor boat and Ship. CLDR files nine emoji under boat, skin tones not counted (Person rowing boat, Man rowing boat, Woman rowing boat, Sailboat, Canoe, Speedboat, Ferry, Motor boat, Ship) and four under ship (Anchor, Passenger ship, Ship, Trident emblem); Passenger ship’s only words are passenger and ship, and cruise is filed under the three rowing boats alone. Nothing is filed under helm, steer or rudder, and Wheel is filed under car and tire. Character names are from UnicodeData.txt, version 18.0.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/UnicodeData.txt). Unicode’s notes (Ship and Passenger ship: cruise line vacation; Ferry: ferry boat terminal; Sailboat: marina or yacht harbour; Motor boat: boat; Helm symbol: control) are from NamesList.txt (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/NamesList.txt); U+26F4 and U+26F5 date from Unicode 5.2 by DerivedAge.txt (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/DerivedAge.txt); U+26F5 and U+26F4 have a text style row in https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/emoji/emoji-variation-sequences.txt and U+1F6A2 has none. The three Han characters are defined as in the Unihan database, version 18.0.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/Unihan.zip). Code page 437, which the old Alt codes follow, has no boat (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_page_437). That some apps take decimal Alt numbers from 256 to 65,535 is from Wikipedia, Alt code (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alt_code), and that Alt+X turns the hexadecimal number before the cursor into its character from Wikipedia, Unicode input (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode_input). The sayings, the two senses of the verb ship and the call ahoy are as Wiktionary defines them (CC BY-SA 4.0): in the same boat (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/in_the_same_boat), rock the boat (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/rock_the_boat), miss the boat (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/miss_the_boat), that ship has sailed (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/that_ship_has_sailed), shipshape (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/shipshape), tight ship (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/tight_ship), smooth sailing (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/smooth_sailing), whatever floats your boat (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/whatever_floats_your_boat), all hands on deck (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/all_hands_on_deck), bon voyage (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/bon_voyage), ship (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/ship), ahoy (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/ahoy).
