How it works

Unicode calls it Lady beetle, U+1F41E, and CLDR files it under both ladybug and ladybird. This ladybug emoji copy and paste page adds its garden neighbours, nine one-line text ladybugs, its name in six languages and twelve combos.

A ladybug emoticon from the keyboard

(:|:) is plain ASCII: two parentheses for the wing cases, a bar for the line between them and a colon of spots on each side. β—–β€’|β€’β—— is the same beetle seen from above with rounder wings. Copy Β· Β· Β· β—–β€’|β€’β—— to send one walking across a message.

The lady in ladybug is Mary

By Wikipedia the name began in Britain as Our Lady’s bird and became ladybug in the United States. German says the same with MarienkΓ€fer, Mary’s beetle, and Wiktionary sets Danish, Latvian and Macedonian names beside it. Entomologists prefer lady beetle, which is also the Unicode name.

  • Beetle is from Emoji 13.0, Shovel and Root vegetable from 16.0: the tiles an older device may not draw.

Questions and answers

Is there a ladybug text symbol?

Not as one character. Nothing in Unicode besides the emoji is named for the insect, and the emoji has no text style form. For a ladybug copy and paste in plain text, take a one-line drawing such as β—–β€’|β€’β—— or (:|:).

What does the ladybug emoji mean?

Unicode gives it a name and no meaning. By Wikipedia the insect has long been tied to luck, love and prophecy, which is why the first combo here, Lucky ladybug, pairs it with the four leaf clover.

Is a ladybug the same as a ladybird?

Yes. By Wikipedia North America says ladybugs, and the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand ladybirds. Either word finds the same emoji.

How this list was compiled: Built on 2026-10-07 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). Lady beetle is U+1F41E, Emoji 0.6, in the subgroup animal-bug; CLDR gives it eight search words, ladybug and ladybird among them, and files nothing else under either. Beetle (U+1FAB2, Emoji 13.0) is the only other emoji under beetle, and the eight emoji under garden are all on the page. UnicodeData.txt, version 18.0.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/UnicodeData.txt) names no other character for the insect, and the emoji has no text style row in https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/emoji/emoji-variation-sequences.txt. The history of the names (Our Lady’s bird in Britain, ladybug in the United States, lady beetle among entomologists, the German MarienkΓ€fer, the Latin coccineus behind Coccinellidae, the seven-spot species, aphids as prey, the luck) is from Wikipedia, Coccinellidae (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coccinellidae, CC BY-SA 4.0). The words in Danish, Latvian, Macedonian, French and Mandarin are from Wiktionary, ladybird (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/ladybird, CC BY-SA 4.0), whose etymology sets the first three beside the German as names for Mary. The two Han definitions are from the Unihan database, version 18.0.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/Unihan.zip). The nine text ladybugs and the twelve 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). Facts from Wikipedia and Wiktionary are restated in this site's own words and credited in the source line.
