How this list was compiled: Built on 2026-10-01 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). Black bird is U+1F426 U+200D U+2B1B, Emoji 15.0, in the subgroup animal-bird between Wing and Goose; no entry is named crow or raven, and CLDR files crow, raven, rook and caw under Black bird alone. Black cat and Black bird are the only sequences built on Black large square. 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). Han definitions, readings and the stroke counts of U+70CF and U+9CE5 are from the Unihan database, version 18.0.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/Unihan.zip). The caws are from Wikipedia, Cross-linguistic onomatopoeias (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-linguistic_onomatopoeias, CC BY-SA 4.0), the column Crow calling. From Wikipedia, Crow (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crow, CC BY-SA 4.0), restated: the name for a group of crows and that crows make and use tools. The saying is from Wiktionary, as the crow flies (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/as_the_crow_flies, CC BY-SA 4.0). The seven text crows and the combos are this site's own work.
