How it works

The fan emoji is πŸͺ­, U+1FAAD, which Unicode names Folding hand fan. It arrived in Emoji 15.0, so older phones may show an empty box, and it is the only emoji CLDR, Unicode’s list of search words, files under fan.

Is there a fan emoji for an electric fan?

Not by that name. Nothing is filed under propeller, ventilator or breeze, and electric leads to five emoji, none of them a fan. Wind is filed under πŸƒ Leaf fluttering in wind, 🌬️ Wind face and 🎐 Wind chime. So the electric fan here is a combo: πŸŒ€ Cyclone, then πŸƒ.

Clack, flutter and shy

CLDR gives πŸͺ­ twelve words, among them clack, cooling, dance, flutter, folding, hot and shy. Clack, cooling and folding lead to no other emoji. Shy is shared with 🫣 Face with peeking eye, flutter with πŸƒ, and clap with πŸ‘ Clapping hands.

Questions and answers

What does the hand fan emoji mean?

A fan you hold: by Wikipedia a hand fan is a broad, flat surface waved to and fro to make an airflow. Unicode lists πŸͺ­ with the clothing, between πŸ‘š Woman’s clothes and πŸ‘› Purse.

Which emoji is for fans of a team or a band?

None is named for them. By Wiktionary that fan is a clipping of fanatic, first US baseball slang; the cooling fan comes from the Latin for a winnowing fan. CLDR files πŸ“£ Megaphone under cheering, and the combo Number one fan sets πŸ₯‡ before it.

Is there a hand fan symbol for plain text?

None is named for one: besides the emoji, fan stands only in the names of a Thai letter and a Mende syllable. The fan symbols here: βŒ” Sector, since by Wikipedia folding fans have the shape of a circle's sector, and the Han character 扇.

How do you type a hand fan emoticon or a fanning emoticon?

Wikipedia’s list of emoticons has no fan. Ours are plain keys: backslash, bar, slash is a hand fan’s ribs meeting at the pivot, and -(+)- is an electric fan from the front. An emoticon with a fan puts a face before it.
