1st, 2nd and 3rd place medal emoji
🥇 is the 1st place emoji: Unicode names it First place medal and notes it as gold medal. 🥈 is the silver medal emoji, named 2nd place medal, and 🥉 the bronze medal emoji, 3rd place medal. All three arrived together in Emoji 3.0, and CLDR files them under first, second and third as well as 1st, 2nd and 3rd.
A medal symbol for plain text
Unicode has no plain character named for a medal: all five names with the word are emoji. The stand-ins here are stars in rings, ✪ and ⍟, and ❀, White florette, which Unicode cross-refers to 🏵️ Rosette.
Questions and answers
Is there a star medal emoji?
Not by name. None of the five medals is named for a star, and CLDR files none of them under star. The combo Medal with a star puts ⭐ beside 🎖️ Military medal, and >(*) is a typed one.
Is there an Alt code for a medal?
No. Code page 437, which the old Alt codes follow, has no medal, and all five emoji sit above 65,535, the top decimal Alt number. By Wikipedia some apps turn 1F3C5 into 🏅 when Alt+X follows it, and some take Alt+10026 for ✪.
Is there a medal emoticon in Unicode?
Unicode has the five emoji and no text emoticon, so this page types its own with plain keys: >(1) is a medal on a ribbon for first place, >(2) and >(3) follow, and [1st] is a tag.
