How it works

Unicode has no Bible emoji, so this page pairs the cross and the open book as ✝️📖. The plain cross is ✝, Latin cross, U+271D. The 94 rows hold crosses by tradition, emoji a verse mentions, and look-alikes such as the dagger †.

Read the full guide

Which cross is which

✝ is the Latin cross, with the long lower arm. ☦ has three bars and ☨ has two. A Greek cross, such as ✚, has four equal arms. ✠ is named Maltese cross, yet most fonts draw four flared arms. ☩, Cross of Jerusalem, lacks the four small crosses of the real one.

Emoji a verse mentions

Of the 22 Bible emoji rows, 15 name a verse that mentions the thing: 🐑 is John 10:11, 🍞 John 6:35, 🌈 Genesis 9:13, ⚓ Hebrews 6:19 and 👑 Revelation 2:10. Quotations are from the World English Bible unless the row says otherwise.

Tips

For the cross in colour copy Latin cross, emoji style, which carries U+FE0F. The bare ✝ may arrive as a plain black character.
&cross; in HTML types ✗, a ballot X. No entity names ✝, so write ✝ or ✝.

Questions and answers

Is there a Bible emoji?

No. No Unicode character is named for the Bible, and the emoji list has no Bible either. The nearest is 📖, Open book, which this page pairs with the cross emoji as ✝️📖. Both are in the first four rows.

Which cross symbols can I copy and paste?

✝ ✞ ✟ are the Latin crosses. ☦ is Orthodox, ☨ Lorraine, ☩ Jerusalem, ✠ Maltese, ♰ and ♱ Syriac, and ✚ a Greek cross. The last group holds 22 rarer ones, which show as an empty box where no font has them.

How do I type the cross symbol on a keyboard?

✝ has no Alt code and no Option key, so copy it. The dagger, †, is the look-alike with keys: on Windows hold Alt and type 0134 on the number pad, and on a Mac with the U.S. layout press Option and T.

What is the difference between ✝ and †?

✝ is U+271D, Latin cross, a religious symbol. † is U+2020, Dagger, a footnote mark that marks a death beside a name or a year. Only † has an Alt code, an HTML name and a LaTeX macro.

Is there an upside-down cross symbol?

Not in Unicode 18.0: no character is named an inverted or turned cross. The nearest shape is ⸸, Turned dagger, U+2E38, a phonetic sign. An upside-down Latin cross is known as the cross of Saint Peter.

Look-alikes 12

Ballot X U+2717. This is what &cross; types in HTML: an X for a ballot paper, not a cross. No HTML entity names ✝.
Black cross on shield U+26E8. A map symbol from the same Japanese standard. Unicode's alias: hospital.
Book U+1F56E. Named Book, cross-referenced to 📖, and not in the emoji list. Added in version 7.0 (2014).
Box drawings double vertical and horizontal U+256C. The same piece in double lines, which reads as an outlined cross. Alt+206 on a number pad, &boxVH; in HTML.
Box drawings light vertical and horizontal U+253C. The crossing piece of a text table, made to touch its neighbours on all four sides. Alt+197 on a number pad, &boxvh; in HTML.
Cross mark U+274C. The emoji list calls it cross mark, so an emoji search for cross can land on this X. Unicode's note: forms a game tally pair with U+2B55, the large circle.
Double dagger U+2021. The third footnote mark, after * and †. Unicode's aliases: diesis, double obelisk. Not the Cross of Lorraine, ☨. Alt+0135 on a number pad, Option+Shift+7 on a U.S. layout, &Dagger; in HTML, \ddagger in LaTeX.
Helmet with white cross U+26D1. The emoji list calls it rescue worker's helmet. It came with the traffic signs of a Japanese broadcasting standard, and Unicode's alias is maintenance. It has the Emoji property, so an app may draw it in colour.
Kangxi radical ten U+2F17. Two crossed lines that mean ten in Chinese. Unicode's note: Kangxi Radical 24. It is a number, not a religious sign.
Multiplication X U+2715. A thin diagonal cross from the dingbat series, cross-referenced to ×, the multiplication sign.
Plus sign U+002B. Already on the keyboard. Its arms are equal, so it can stand in for a thin Greek cross, never for a Latin one. + in HTML.
Turned dagger U+2E38. A dagger upside down, from a phonetic notation: Unicode's note says it indicates retroflex pronunciation. Unicode has no inverted cross, and this is the nearest shape. Added in version 6.1 (2012).

How this list was compiled: Names, and the code points they belong to, are checked against UnicodeData.txt, version 18.0.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/UnicodeData.txt, checked 2026-09-20), and printed in sentence case. Notes that say Unicode's note, Unicode's alias, Unicode files it or cross-references quote the headings, aliases, notes and cross-references of NamesList.txt of the same version (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/NamesList.txt); the version a character was added in is from DerivedAge.txt (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/DerivedAge.txt), block names are from Blocks.txt, the Emoji property and the text style and emoji style sequences are from emoji-data.txt and emoji-variation-sequences.txt of the same version, and the years are from https://www.unicode.org/history/publicationdates.html. Alt codes are from the code page 437 table (https://www.unicode.org/Public/MAPPINGS/VENDORS/MICSFT/PC/CP437.TXT), the PC graphics table for codes 1 to 31 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/MAPPINGS/VENDORS/MISC/IBMGRAPH.TXT) and the code page 1252 table (https://www.unicode.org/Public/MAPPINGS/VENDORS/MICSFT/WINDOWS/CP1252.TXT). Option keys were read from a U.S. keyboard layout; other layouts differ. HTML entity names are from https://html.spec.whatwg.org/entities.json, the HTML 4 name first where there is one, else the shortest. LaTeX macros are listed only when LaTeX's own fontdef.dtx or ltoutenc.dtx (https://github.com/latex3/latex2e/tree/develop/base) or the amssymb and amsfonts sources (https://mirrors.ctan.org/fonts/amsfonts/source/) define them, matched to a code point through unicode-math-table.tex (https://github.com/latex3/unicode-math). The last group holds characters that one ordinary computer had no font for on the day this list was checked; your device may differ. A check of those files confirms that no name of UnicodeData.txt 18.0.0 has the word BIBLE (the one hit is a hyphenated part of U+153F, a Canadian syllabics letter), that emoji-test.txt has no bible, and that no CROSS is named inverted or turned. Emoji names quoted as the emoji list's are from https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/emoji/emoji-test.txt. Bible verses are quoted from the World English Bible, a public domain translation, read from https://bible-api.com on 2026-09-20 (Genesis 8:11 and 9:13, Psalms 95:6 and 134:2, Jeremiah 36:2, Matthew 2:2, 3:16 and 4:19, Luke 23:33, John 6:35, 10:11 and 15:5, Acts 2:3, Hebrews 6:19, Revelation 2:10 and 22:13); Matthew 5:15 is quoted from the King James Version by the same route. A verse is given only where its wording names the thing the emoji shows.
