Lines with no date in them
Mother's Day falls on different days around the world, most often in March or May, so no line here names a date. There is one each for Mom, Mum, Mama, Grandma and a mother-in-law, and π Happy Mother's Day to all the moms π for a group.
Where emoji are refused
The typed emoticons use only keyboard characters. Plain symbols, no emoji has seven flowers and hearts that are ordinary characters, and the text art pastes as lines: Mother's Day card with names to type over has a To and a From.
Type over MOM in MOM in a heart with any three letters.
No. No emoji name and no CLDR search word says Mother's Day. CLDR, Unicode's list of search words, files mother under three emoji, Woman feeding baby and Mrs. Claus among them, and none is a greeting. Flowers do the job.
What is a Mother's Day emoticon?
An emoticon is a face or a small picture typed with keyboard characters. Six are here, such as <3 Happy Mother's Day <3 and a rose lying on its side. The kaomoji after them each carry a flower.
Is there a mom emoji?
None is named mom. CLDR lists the word for two emoji, both a woman feeding a baby. The combos Mom and daughter and Mom and son put a woman beside a child, and Old woman is the only emoji filed under grandma.
When is Mother's Day?
It depends on the country. Wikipedia says it falls on different days around much of the world, most often in March or May. That is why the lines here carry no date.

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). 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): no emoji name and no search word says Mother's Day; mother is listed for three emoji (Breast-feeding, Woman feeding baby and Mrs. Claus), mom for the first two, grandma for Old woman only, flower for twelve and bouquet for one. The first group is this site's own choice and its notes say so. The plain symbols and the characters in the kaomoji are from UnicodeData.txt, version 18.0.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/UnicodeData.txt), each under its Unicode name. Unicode data is used under the Unicode terms of use (https://www.unicode.org/terms_of_use.html). No line carries a date, because Mother's Day falls on different days around much of the world, most often in March or May (Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mother%27s_Day, CC BY-SA 4.0). The lines, the kaomoji, the six drawings and the combos are this site's own work, written for this page, and each typed emoticon is this site's own greeting beside a plain keyboard heart, flower or face: greetings only.
