How it works

For ocean symbols copy and paste, start with ๐ŸŒŠ, named Water wave. The other 119 run from sea-animal emoji to wave characters, hieroglyph fish and the sea in Chinese. There is no starfish emoji, so the page offers a stand-in.

Read the full guide

Which emoji count as ocean

CLDR, Unicode's list of search words for emoji, files ocean under 15 emoji, and Ocean and sea-animal emoji holds nine of them. So ocean emoji copy and paste is mostly ๐ŸŒŠ, whales, a dolphin and a seal. The crab is filed as a star sign. For beach symbols copy and paste, the second group has 17, ๐Ÿ–๏ธ in front.

Waves that are plain text

Wave symbols answers wave symbol copy and paste with 19 characters. Only โ™’ is a colour emoji by default; the rest take the colour of your text, and ใ€ฐ is copied in its text form. Thirteen tiles are Egyptian hieroglyphs, two ripples here and 11 fish, boats and a turtle in the next group: without a hieroglyph font they show as boxes.

Tips
  • Jellyfish emoji copy and paste has one answer, ๐Ÿชผ, and a device without Emoji 15.0 shows a box.
  • Whale emoji copy and paste has three: ๐Ÿณ, ๐Ÿ‹ and orca ๐Ÿซ, a box without Emoji 17.0.
  • For one ocean symbol copy and paste ๐ŸŒŠ; as plain text, โ‰‹ is three waves and โ‰ˆ two.

Questions and answers

Starfish emoji copy and paste: is there one?

No. Emoji 18.0 has no starfish, and no emoji name or CLDR search word mentions one. The nearest single character is ๐“‡ผ, an Egyptian hieroglyph that the Unicode names list records as the sign for star. In emoji, this page writes it โญ๐Ÿš.

Shark emoji copy and paste: why does ocean not find it?

๐Ÿฆˆ is the only shark emoji, and CLDR gives it three search words: animal, fish and shark. It is not among the 15 filed under ocean. The search box here finds it under ocean and sea anyway, and under shark it also finds the text shark (^^^).

What is the wave symbol called?

There are several. ใ€ฐ is wavy dash, ใ€œ wave dash, ๏ฝž fullwidth tilde, โ‰ˆ almost equal to, โ‰‹ triple tilde and โˆฟ sine wave. None was made to mean water: they are dashes and maths signs that happen to draw it.

How do I type โ‰ˆ on a keyboard?

Where Windows Alt codes follow code page 437, hold Alt and type 247 on the number pad. In HTML, write ≈. Anywhere else, copying the tile is quicker.

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 ocean under 15 emoji, the shark not among them, beach under 13, the water wave not among them, and wave under two, the waving hand and the water wave; no emoji name or search word in it mentions a starfish. 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 alternating current, asymptotic to, lazy S, control, compass, bathing beach, the harbour and marina map meanings and the uses of the Egyptian hieroglyphs (water, fish, star, turtle, bark or boat, wind) come from. 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). Which characters are traditional forms, and their simplified forms, are the kSimplifiedVariant field of Unihan_Variants.txt in the same archive. That the almost equal sign was character 247 and the white sun character 15 of code page 437, and that Windows Alt codes are a legacy of that code page, is from Wikipedia's article Code page 437 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_page_437). That the wave dash mainly shows a range is from Wikipedia's article Wave dash (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave_dash); that the helm symbol is the standard keyboard symbol for Control (ISO/IEC 9995-7) and very rarely used is from its article Control key (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_key); that the Lontara script of Sulawesi has a Unicode block called Buginese is from its article Lontara script (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lontara_script). The HTML names &asymp; and &apid; are in the named character reference list of the HTML standard (https://html.spec.whatwg.org/entities.json). Wikipedia's List of emoticons (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_emoticons) records ><> and <>< as a fish, the long fish with a three-stroke tail as a fish, (^^^) as a shark, V=(ยฐ ยฐ)=V as a crab or lobster, and the two katakana pictures as a squid and an octopus. Which characters pass for a wave, a fish or a starfish, and every divider, wrapper and combo, are this site's own choice and assembly; the combo names are our own. Every glyph was drawn with CoreText on macOS on 2026-09-19 and the two that came out as empty boxes there (the Emoji 18.0 lighthouse and U+1F322) were dropped. All sources were checked on 2026-09-19.
