How it works

The classical building emoji is ๐Ÿ›๏ธ, U+1F3DB, from Emoji 0.7. Unicodeโ€™s note calls it a public building, so one tile serves for a courthouse, a museum, a bank or a temple.

Court house emoji: the name does not exist

No emoji is named court or courthouse, and CLDR, Unicodeโ€™s list of search words, files nothing under either. Classical building is the closest. Courthouse pairs it with Balance scale, which CLDR files under justice, and Court in session pairs it with Judge.

Greek temple emoji: add the flag

CLDR files two emoji under temple, Hindu temple and Synagogue, and none under Greek. By Wikipedia the Doric, Ionic and Corinthian orders began in Greece and are told apart by their columns. Greek temple puts the flag of Greece before the building.

  • By Wikipedia a pediment is the gable, usually triangular, that tops a Greek templeโ€™s portico. The drawing Temple front has one.

Questions and answers

What does the ๐Ÿ›๏ธ emoji mean?

A classical building, and nothing narrower. Unicode prints it between Stadium and Building construction, and CLDR gives it two search words: building and classical.

Is there a column emoji?

Not on its own: no emoji is named column or pillar. The nearest plain characters are ๐“‰บ, a hieroglyph Unicode describes as a column topped by a tenon, and ฮ , which stands like two posts and a lintel.

Is the classical building emoji a bank?

It can stand for one, but Unicode has a separate Bank, U+1F3E6, from Emoji 0.6. CLDR files that one under bank and building, and the classical building under neither bank nor money.

How this list was compiled: Built on 2026-10-08 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). Classical building is U+1F3DB U+FE0F, Emoji 0.7, in the subgroup place-building: Stadium is printed before it and Building construction after it. CLDR gives it two search words, building and classical. No emoji is named or filed under court, courthouse, column, pillar or Greek; CLDR files Hindu temple and Synagogue under temple, Framed picture and Artist palette under museum, and Balance scale and Judge under justice. Bank is U+1F3E6, Emoji 0.6. The notes public building (Classical building) and legal term, jurisprudence (Scales) are alias lines in NamesList.txt, version 18.0.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/NamesList.txt); character names are from UnicodeData.txt, version 18.0.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/UnicodeData.txt), where one character has COLUMN in its name (Phaistos disc sign column, U+101E6, left off this page because few fonts draw it). What the two hieroglyphs show is the kEH_Desc field of Unikemet.txt, version 18.0.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/Unikemet.txt). The orders (Doric, Ionic and Corinthian began in Greece and are told apart by their columns; the Romans added Tuscan and Composite) are from Wikipedia, Classical order (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_order, CC BY-SA 4.0); the pediment (a gable, usually triangular, the top of a Greek templeโ€™s portico) from Wikipedia, Pediment (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pediment); the column (a round shaft with a capital and a base) from Wikipedia, Column (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Column); the colonnade from Wikipedia, Colonnade (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colonnade); the courthouse (a building that houses judicial functions) from Wikipedia, Courthouse (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Courthouse). The four letter and line characters are look-alikes of this siteโ€™s choosing, not architectural signs. The four typed temples, the two drawings, the six lines and the fourteen combos are this siteโ€™s own work. Licence: own work: the selection, the combo names, the text drawings and the notes are this site's own.
