How it works

Music emoji copy and paste starts with ๐ŸŽต, named Musical note, one of 20 emoji that CLDR, Unicode's search-word list, files under music. All 20 are among these 120 tiles, beside โ™ช โ™ซ โ™ฌ, plain text since Unicode 1.1.

Read the full guide

The headphone is not filed under music

Music emoji, instruments and player buttons holds 30. ๐ŸŽง is not one of the 20 under music: its CLDR search words are earbud, headphone and sound. ๐ŸŽค is the only emoji under sing or karaoke, and none is filed under song, melody or tune. Music emoji combos adds ten, and Now playing lines ten more, one a volume bar of Block Elements.

Notes and clefs in plain text

Music notes, clefs and signs in plain text answers music notes symbols copy and paste with 25 tiles. โ™ฉ โ™ช โ™ซ โ™ฌ โ™ญ โ™ฎ โ™ฏ are from the Miscellaneous Symbols block. The clefs ๐„ž ๐„ข ๐„ก are from the Musical Symbols block, and the computer this list was built on drew only 30 of that block's 216 symbols.

Tips
  • For music symbols copy and paste with no emoji, use the second group: all 25 tiles copy as plain text.
  • Nine wrappers copy the word name and six now playing lines the words song name: paste, then type over them.
  • ๐„ž sits outside Unicode's first 65,536 code points, so a character counter working in UTF-16 units counts it as 2.

Questions and answers

Is there a treble clef emoji?

No. No emoji name or CLDR search word mentions a clef. The nearest is ๐ŸŽผ, which Emojipedia describes as a staff showing a treble clef. The text character is ๐„ž, which Unicode names G clef; no character name holds the word treble.

Why do some music symbols show as boxes?

They come from the Musical Symbols block, which needs a font that covers it: Wikipedia lists Bravura, Euterpe, FreeSerif, Musica and Symbola. The last group holds 13 that drew as empty boxes when this list was built, on 19 September 2026.

What is the alt code for a music note?

Hold Alt and type 13 on the number pad for โ™ช, or 14 for โ™ซ: Unicode's table of PC graphics characters puts the two notes at positions 13 and 14. The other notes and the clefs are not in the code pages behind Alt codes.

Is there a music font generator?

No: Unicode has no alphabet made of notes. No character of the Musical Symbols block is named a letter, and the nearest are six dynamics marks such as piano and forte. Notes round a name has ๐“ท๐“ช๐“ถ๐“ฎ in bold script between two notes.

How this list was compiled: Built by script on 2026-09-19, not typed by hand. The emoji, their names, code points and Emoji version numbers come from emoji-test.txt, 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, in sentence case. Emoji 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, main branch). That list files the word music under 20 emoji, all of them on this page, and not under the headphone, the radio, the long drum or the mirror ball; it files sing, karaoke, piano, guitar, percussion, disco, shuffle, band and marching under one emoji each, jazz and orchestra under two, and no emoji under song, melody, tune, lullaby, concert, podcast or playlist; no emoji name or search word in it mentions a clef, a cello or a tuba. The build stops if any of that changes. Which characters have an emoji form, and the text-style sequences that keep them plain, come from emoji-data.txt (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/emoji/emoji-data.txt) and emoji-variation-sequences.txt (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/emoji/emoji-variation-sequences.txt), version 18.0.0. Every character was checked against UnicodeData.txt, version 18.0.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/UnicodeData.txt): the code points and the character names in the notes come from that file, names in sentence case. Block names come from Blocks.txt (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/Blocks.txt) and the Unicode version each character arrived in from DerivedAge.txt (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/DerivedAge.txt), both version 18.0.0. Other names and uses of a character come from the annotations in NamesList.txt, version 18.0.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/NamesList.txt). That is where quaver, crotchet, semibreve, minim, semiquaver and crochet rest, the glosses of the two note emoji and of the headphone, and the Japanese song part mark come from. The Musical Symbols block (U+1D100 to U+1D1FF) has 256 assigned characters in Unicode 18.0.0, 216 of them visible symbols and 23 of them new in 18.0; no character in it is named a letter, and its dynamics marks are six (rinforzando, subito, z, piano, mezzo, forte); the half note decomposes canonically to U+1D157 U+1D165. Meanings and Mandarin readings of Chinese characters are the kDefinition and kMandarin fields of Unihan_Readings.txt in Unihan.zip, version 18.0.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/Unihan.zip). That the two beamed and single notes sat at positions 13 and 14 of the IBM PC code pages is from Unicode's own mapping table https://www.unicode.org/Public/MAPPINGS/VENDORS/MISC/IBMGRAPH.TXT. What the musical score emoji shows is from https://emojipedia.org/musical-score. The clefs still in use are from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clef, the fermata from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fermata, hairpins, piano and forte from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamics_(music), common time, cut time and their mensural origin from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_signature, and the fonts that cover the Musical Symbols block from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musical_Symbols_(Unicode_block). The words for music and their readings are from https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/้Ÿณๆจ‚ and https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/้Ÿณๆฅฝ. The meanings of the two kaomoji that carry one (headphones, listening to music; happy, dancing to the music) are from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_emoticons; the other four kaomoji labels say only what the picture shows. Every now playing line, wrapper, divider and combo, and four of the six kaomoji, are this site's own assembly, and the tile names are our own. Every string was laid out with CoreText on macOS on 2026-09-19 and the build stops if that changes: all drew except the 13 tiles of the last group, which fell to the LastResort font and whose notes say so; of the 216 visible symbols of the Musical Symbols block that computer drew 30. All sources were checked on 2026-09-19. Licence: own work
