Luck is filed under three that are not plants
For shamrock emoji copy and paste, take the second tile. CLDR files clover and lucky under Four leaf clover alone, and luck under three emoji that are not plants: they have a group of their own. Horseshoe finds Magnet and wishbone finds Bone, and Charm bracelet puts both beside the clover.
Clovers that are not emoji
For clover symbol copy and paste, open the plain text group. โ there is the shamrock character with no emoji selector, so it takes the colour of your words. โค, โฃ, โฅ and โข are four-spoked asterisks, in Unicode since version 1.1. Four leaf clover itself has no text form.
Tips
Shamrock is the older character, in Unicode since 4.1. Four leaf clover is the older emoji: 0.6 against 1.0.
o8o~ is plain ASCII and survives anywhere. The two playing cards are single characters, but small: check they show first.
Questions and answers
What is the difference between the clover and shamrock emoji?
Four leaf clover, U+1F340, has four leaves, and CLDR files it under lucky. Shamrock, U+2618 plus an emoji selector, has three and is filed under irish. Wikipedia says the word shamrock comes from the Irish seamrรณg, young clover.
Is there a three leaf clover emoji?
Yes: Shamrock. Three leaflets is the usual number, and Wikipedia calls the four-leaf kind a rare mutation. A 2017 survey it cites counted one four-leaf clover for every 5,076 ordinary ones, so this page has better odds than a field.
Why is the club suit a clover?

How this list was compiled: Built by script on 2026-09-19, not typed by hand. The emoji, their names, code points and Emoji version numbers come from emoji-test.txt, 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, in sentence case. Four leaf clover is U+1F340, labelled Emoji 0.6; shamrock is U+2618 with U+FE0F, labelled Emoji 1.0; the same file lists U+2618 and U+2663 on their own as unqualified. The 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, main branch). CLDR lists clover, lucky and four-leaf for the four leaf clover only, shamrock for the shamrock only, irish for both, and luck for saluting face, crossed fingers and red envelope; charm for the nazar amulet only, horseshoe for the magnet only, wishbone for the bone only. No character in UnicodeData.txt has horseshoe or wishbone in its name. The text forms come from emoji-variation-sequences.txt, version 18.0.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/emoji/emoji-variation-sequences.txt). Shamrock and club suit have a text style row and the four leaf clover has none; this page leaves the switch off and gives the plain text characters tiles of their own. Every character that is not an emoji was checked against UnicodeData.txt, version 18.0.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/UnicodeData.txt), and a note that names a character uses its name from that file. The Unicode version each character joined in is from DerivedAge.txt, version 18.0.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/DerivedAge.txt): U+2618 in 4.1, U+1F340 in 6.0, the club suits and the four asterisks in 1.1, the playing cards in 6.0. The definitions of U+82DC, U+5E78, U+798F, U+4E09, U+8449 and U+8349 and the reading mรน are from Unihan_Readings.txt, version 18.0.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/Unihan.zip). Wikipedia: the four-leaf clover is an uncommon mutation of ordinary clover, which has three leaflets, a 2017 survey of about 5.7 million clovers found one for every 5,076, and the luck belief dates to at least the 17th century (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four-leaf_clover); clovers are the genus Trifolium, from Latin tres and folium, of about 300 species, a fodder crop and a chief source of nectar for honeybees (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clover); shamrock is from Irish seamrรณg, young clover (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shamrock); the club suit's French name is trรจfle, clover, the mark is drawn as a clover leaf of three leaflets, and the English name translates basto, the Spanish suit of batons (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clubs_(suit)). Wiktionary: the idiom in clover, its forms like a bee in clover and like a pig in clover, and the gloss in a condition of prosperity (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/in_clover); clover in French, Mandarin and Latin (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/clover); the Mandarin is in traditional characters, since Unihan_Variants.txt gives U+8449 a simplified variant. The choice of 12 plain text characters, the 6 dividers and the one-line ASCII clover, the 4 words and the 13 combos and their names are this site's own. All sources were checked on 2026-09-19.
