A dress symbol in plain text
Unicode names two characters for a dress. One is the emoji, which has no text style. The other is U+1FBC9 Stick figure with dress, added in Unicode 13.0: it is not an emoji and may show as an empty box. A plain stand-in is 袍, a Han character Unihan defines as long gown, robe, cloak.
Fancy, dressed and shopping
CLDR gives 👗 six words: clothes, clothing, dress, dressed, fancy and shopping. Fancy is shared with 🧐 Face with monocle, 👛 Purse and 🎩 Top hat. Nothing is filed under gown, skirt, frock or outfit.
Questions and answers
What does the dress emoji mean?
A dress: by Wikipedia an outer garment in one piece, worn on the torso and hanging over the legs, also called a gown or a frock.
Is there a red dress emoji or a wedding dress emoji?
Unicode has one dress, and its name gives no colour. The dresses by colour set a heart of each colour before it, such as ❤️👗. The combo Wedding dress puts 🤍 White heart and 💍 Ring around it.
How do you type a dress emoticon?
Wikipedia’s list of emoticons has no dress, so the one here is two lines of three keys: backslash, underscore, slash for the bodice, then slash, underscore, backslash for the skirt. On one line, /_\ alone is a skirt.
