How it works

Three emoji are filed under fireworks by CLDR, Unicode's list of search words: Fireworks, U+1F386, Sparkler and Firecracker. For fireworks emoji copy and paste, 72 more sit below: sparks, colour circles, plain-text bursts, text fireworks, captions and ASCII shells.

Three emoji, one of them a stick

Unicode names the sparkler Firework sparkler and notes that it looks like a burning incense stick. Wikipedia's Senko hanabi article translates that Japanese sparkler's name as incense-stick fireworks, so the note holds up. Firecracker arrived in Emoji 11.0 with nine search words; the older two get five each. Type boom and three tiles answer.

Colours and shells, as the article has them

The seven circles are a colour chart. Wikipedia's Fireworks article lists the metal behind each colour: strontium for red, barium for green, copper for blue. The eight ASCII drawings follow its shell types: a Peony shell has no tails, a Chrysanthemum shell has, and a Willow shell droops.

Tips
  • Wheel, Emoji 14.0, is the newest tile, and an older phone shows an empty box in its place.
  • Seven tiles, Sparkles among them, have a text form: Text style makes them plain characters the colour of your words.
  • The ASCII shells run 9 to 29 columns wide and hold their shape only in a monospaced font.

Questions and answers

How many fireworks emoji are there?

Three, by CLDR's filing: Fireworks, Sparkler and Firecracker. Only the first two have firework in their Unicode names. CLDR lists nothing under fuse, finale or bonfire, so those searches run on words we added. The New Year and Fourth of July pages borrow all three.

Why is there bamboo on a fireworks page?

Because of the first firecracker. Wikipedia's Fireworks article says people in Han dynasty China threw bamboo stems into a fire to produce an explosion; its Firecracker article says the Chinese name, baozhu, means exploding bamboo. CLDR files Pine decoration under bamboo, hence The original firecracker.

What can I paste where emoji are blocked?

Plain text. The nine tiles under Bursts in plain text are ordinary characters, from a sixteen-pointed burst, which Unicode's notes also name starburst, down to a six-pointed star. Seven of the ten text fireworks are keyboard characters only, and two captions come without emoji.

Bursts in plain text, no emoji 9

  • Baozhu, in two characters U+7206 U+7AF9. Wikipedia's Firecracker article gives this as the Chinese name for firecrackers and says it literally means exploding bamboo. Unihan defines the first character as crackle, pop, burst, explode and the second as bamboo.
  • Flower punctuation mark U+2055 Flower punctuation mark. Five dots in a ring, which Unicode's notes also name phul and puspika. It shows as an empty box where no font has it.
  • Hanabi, in two characters U+82B1 U+706B. Wikipedia's Fireworks article writes Japan's summer fireworks festivals as hanabi taikai, and these are the first two characters of it. Unihan defines them as flower and fire.
  • Heavy sparkle U+2748 Heavy sparkle. Four characters have sparkle in their Unicode names, and this is the one that is not an emoji.
  • Kome, the reference mark U+203B Reference mark. Unicode's notes call it Japanese kome. It marks footnotes for a living and looks like a break seen from below.
  • Pinwheel star U+2735 Eight pointed pinwheel star. Pinwheel is the other name of the Catherine wheel firework, by Wikipedia's article on it.

  • Sixteen-pointed burst U+273A Sixteen pointed asterisk. Unicode's notes give it a second name: starburst. The nearest thing to a firework in plain text, and it takes the colour of your words.
  • Twelve-pointed star U+2739 Twelve pointed black star. Twelve points, filled in. A break a moment later.

How this list was compiled: Built by script on 2026-09-19, not typed by hand. The emoji, their names, code points and Emoji version numbers come from emoji-test.txt, 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, in sentence case. The 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, main branch). CLDR lists fireworks for three emoji (fireworks, sparkler, firecracker) and nothing for firework in the singular, fuse, finale, bonfire, Diwali, peony, chrysanthemum, dahlia, willow or pinwheel; boom finds five emoji and bamboo two (panda, pine decoration). The other emoji on the page are our own picks. The text forms come from emoji-variation-sequences.txt, version 18.0.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/emoji/emoji-variation-sequences.txt). 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), and a note that names a character uses its name from that file. Notes about what a character is used for come from the annotations in NamesList.txt, version 18.0.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/NamesList.txt). Two characters have FIREWORK in the name (U+1F386 Fireworks, U+1F387 Firework sparkler) and four have SPARKLE, of which U+2748 Heavy sparkle is the one not in emoji-test.txt. The notes quoted are on U+1F387 (long, stick-like firework that looks like a burning incense stick), U+273A (starburst), U+203B (Japanese kome) and U+2055 (phul, puspika). Meanings of Chinese characters come from the kDefinition field of Unihan_Readings.txt in Unihan.zip, version 18.0.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/Unihan.zip). What the page says about real fireworks is from English Wikipedia, read as wikitext on 2026-09-19: Fireworks (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fireworks) for the colour table (strontium red, calcium orange, sodium yellow, barium green, copper halides blue, potassium violet, titanium, aluminium or magnesium white, charcoal, iron or lampblack gold), the shell effects (peony, dahlia, chrysanthemum, willow, palm, ring, fish, spider; that section of the article carries an unreferenced tag), the cake, fountain, rocket and Roman candle types, bamboo thrown into fires in Han dynasty China, dogs, Diwali and hanabi taikai; Sparkler (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sparkler) for over 1000 ยฐC and Guy Fawkes Night; Senko hanabi (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Senko_hanabi) for incense-stick fireworks; Firecracker (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firecracker) for baozhu, exploding bamboo; Catherine wheel (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catherine_wheel_(firework)) for pinwheel. The 10 one-line text fireworks, 11 lines, 8 ASCII drawings and 8 combos are this site's own work: the emoji in them are fetched by name from emoji-test.txt, the plain characters by name from UnicodeData.txt, and the drawings were made for this page.
