Read the full guide

No mop emoji, no duster emoji

Unicode has neither: no emoji name and no CLDR search word is mop, duster or dust. For a mop emoji the combo Mop and bucket puts 🧹 beside 🪣, and for a duster emoji Feather duster is 🪶✨. By Wiktionary a mop is an implement for washing floors, where a broom is for sweeping.

Why the broom is filed under witch

CLDR’s fourth word for 🧹 is witch, shared with the three mage emoji and 🪄 Magic wand. Wiktionary gives broomstick a sense of its own: a magic broom on whose handle one can fly astride. The word itself is a plant: by Wikipedia, household brooms were made by fixing twigs of the broom shrub onto long handles.
