How it works

CLDR files the koala emoji under bear, yet Wikipedia calls it a marsupial and no bear. This koala emoticon page has the emoji, seven one-line text koalas, the word in Japanese, Mandarin and Cantonese, and thirteen combos.

Koala emoticons with ears outside the head

β—–(・●・)β—— is two half circles for ears, two dots for eyes and one black circle for the wide nose. β—–(-●-)β—— zzz shuts the eyes. β—–(・●・)β—— β—–(Β·β€’Β·)β—— is a mother and a joey, the name Wikipedia gives a young koala.

What stands beside the koala

Kangaroo is the only other emoji CLDR files under marsupial. No emoji is named eucalyptus, so Herb and Leaf fluttering in wind stand in for the leaves that are most of a koala's diet, by Wikipedia.

  • η„‘ε°Ύη†Š reads wΓΊwΔ›ixiΓ³ng: by Unihan its three characters mean no, tail and bear.
  • Down under is Koala with the Australia flag: down and under are two of its CLDR search words.

Questions and answers

Is a koala a bear?

No. Wikipedia describes the koala as a tree-living marsupial native to Australia and calls the name koala bear inaccurate; its closest living relatives are the wombats. CLDR still files the emoji under bear, so Bear is a tile here.

How do you type a koala emoticon?

Copy β—–(・●・)β—— from this page: the half-circle ears and the black circle have no key on a US keyboard. Seven versions are here, among them one asleep, one waving and one with a leaf.

Is there a eucalyptus emoji?

No. No emoji is named eucalyptus and CLDR files nothing under the word. Herb, Leaf fluttering in wind and Deciduous tree are the closest, and the combo Leaf lunch puts Herb after Koala.

What does the koala emoji mean?

Unicode gives it a name, Koala, and no meaning. CLDR's eight search words are animal, australia, bear, down, face, koala, marsupial and under. It has been in the emoji list since Emoji 0.6.

How this list was compiled: Built on 2026-10-01 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). Koala is U+1F428, Emoji 0.6; CLDR lists animal, australia, bear, down, face, koala, marsupial and under for it, files only Koala and Kangaroo under marsupial, and files nothing under eucalyptus. The flag tile is named Australia flag here; CLDR writes it flag: Australia. 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). Han definitions and readings are from the Unihan database, version 18.0.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/Unihan.zip). From Wikipedia, Koala (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koala, CC BY-SA 4.0), restated: a tree-living marsupial native to Australia, sometimes inaccurately called the koala bear, whose closest living relatives are the wombats; eucalyptus leaves make up most of its diet; it sleeps up to twenty hours a day; its young are joeys. The words in other scripts are from the translation table of Wiktionary, koala (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/koala, CC BY-SA 4.0). The seven text koalas and the combos are this site's own work. Licence: own work: the selection, the combo names, the text drawings and the notes are this site's own. Emoji names, code points and search words are Unicode and CLDR data, and the Han definitions are Unihan data, used under the Unicode License v3 (https://www.unicode.org/license.txt).
