Questions and answers
Is there a pink hibiscus emoji?
Not a separate one: Unicode names a single Hibiscus. Pink heart is the only emoji with pink in its name, so the combo Pink hibiscus pairs the two.
What does the hibiscus emoji mean?
The flower stands for places: by Wikipedia one hibiscus is the national flower of Malaysia, another of South Korea, and a hibiscus is the state flower of Hawaii.
How do you make a hibiscus emoticon?
Put the emoji beside a text face: πΊ(ββΏβ) wears it behind one ear, which is how Wikipedia says the flower is worn in Hawaii. With keyboard characters only, type {@}~~*.
Is there a lei emoji?
No. No emoji is named lei, and CLDR files nothing under lei or aloha. By Wikipedia hibiscus flowers were once strung into lei, so the combo Lei is five Hibiscus in a row.

How this list was compiled: Built on 2026-10-08 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). Hibiscus is U+1F33A, Emoji 0.6, in the subgroup plant-flower: Wilted flower is printed before it and Sunflower after it.
