How it works

By Wikipedia, an orchestraโ€™s woodwind section is typically flutes, oboes, clarinets and bassoons. Only the first has an emoji, ๐Ÿชˆ Flute, from Emoji 15.0, so the clarinet emoji here is that one.

Read the full guide

Flute or saxophone

CLDR, Unicodeโ€™s list of search words, files woodwind under ๐Ÿชˆ alone. Wikipedia calls the clarinet a single-reed instrument with a near-cylindrical bore and a flared bell, and the saxophone a single-reed woodwind too. So ๐ŸŽท Saxophone, from Emoji 0.6, is the second tile: it shares the reed.

A small trumpet, by name

Wiktionaryโ€™s first etymology has the word borrowed from Italian clarinetto, a diminutive of clarino, trumpet, because the first clarinets had a strident tone like one. ๐ŸŽบ Trumpet is the third tile for that reason.

  • For a bio, Bโ™ญ clarinet names the usual instrument: by Wikipedia it is the most common type.

Questions and answers

Is there a clarinet emoji?

Not by that name. Unicodeโ€™s emoji list, version 18.0, has no clarinet in any name. The nearest are ๐Ÿชˆ and ๐ŸŽท, and the combo Clarinet and sax copies both.

How do you type a clarinet emoticon?

Wikipediaโ€™s list of emoticons has none, so the one here is -=ooo=ooo=< in plain ASCII: a mouthpiece, six tone holes and a bell. -=โ—โ—โ—=โ—‹โ—‹โ—‹=< covers three of the holes.

Is there an oboe emoji or a bassoon emoji?

No emoji has either name, and CLDR files nothing under oboe or bassoon. By Wiktionary the oboe belongs to the double reed family, so the nearest emoji is again the flute, not the saxophone.
