Film Emoji

How this list was compiled: Built on 2026-10-09 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). Movie camera is U+1F3A5, Emoji 0.6, in the group Objects, subgroup light & video, between Abacus and Film frames; Film frames (U+1F39E with U+FE0F) and Film projector (U+1F4FD with U+FE0F) are Emoji 0.7 and follow it, then Clapper board. Cinema is U+1F3A6, Emoji 0.6, in the group Symbols, subgroup av-symbol, between Eject button and Dim button. CLDR files the same four emoji under film and under cinema (Movie camera, Film frames, Film projector, Cinema), six under movie, and Film projector alone under projector; of the four emoji with camera in the name, only Movie camera is filed under film, and Camera is filed under photo. No emoji is named or filed under filmmaker or director. Character names are from UnicodeData.txt, version 18.0.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/UnicodeData.txt): two names hold the word film and one holds cinema. Unicode's notes (Movie camera: film, movies; Film frames: film clip; Film projector: movies; Cinema: movie theater, movie projector; Clapper board: film; Video camera: video; Seat: a reserved or ticketed seat) are from NamesList.txt (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/NamesList.txt); U+1F3A5 dates from Unicode 6.0, U+1F39E and U+1F4FD from 7.0 by DerivedAge.txt (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/DerivedAge.txt). That a movie camera takes a sequence of photographs, each one a frame, and that a movie projector projects the frames, also called a film projector, onto a screen, is from Wikipedia, Movie camera and Movie projector (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Movie_camera, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Movie_projector; CC BY-SA 4.0).
