How it works

Minibus, trolleybus and the bus stop

The minibus emoji is 🚐, from Emoji 1.0. It is the only emoji filed under van, with no colour among its words, so the white van emoji is a combo: ⬜🚐. The trolleybus emoji is 🚎, also from Emoji 1.0; by Wiktionary a trolley bus is powered via overhead electric cables and does not run on tracks. 🚏 Bus stop sits apart in Unicode’s list, after πŸ›Ό Roller skate.

Bus symbols in plain text

Unicode names five characters for buses, all of them emoji, and only 🚍 Oncoming bus has a text style. One plain character points at a stop: πŸ…·, U+1F177, noted as Haltestelle, German for a bus stop. Bus symbols to copy and paste into plain text are otherwise typed.

  • By Wiktionary a school bus is also an informal unit of length: about 30 feet, or 9 metres.

Questions and answers

Is there a bus Alt code?

Not a decimal one, and no bus keyboard symbol either. By Wikipedia Alt plus a number reaches 65,535 at most, and 🚌 is U+1F68C, above that. Apps that accept hexadecimal take 1F68C followed by Alt+X.

Is there a bus emoticon in text?

None is in Wikipedia’s list of emoticons. As a bus text emoticon, |[][][][]|D is four windows and a rounded front, and |[][]|D is the emoticon for a minibus.

What does the bus emoji mean?

A bus: by Wiktionary a motor vehicle that carries many people by road. The word is a clipping of omnibus, Latin for β€œfor all”, by way of the French voiture omnibus, a carriage for all.
