Read the full guide
Which pin for which job
CLDR, Unicode's list of search words, files Pushpin under collage and Round pushpin under location and map. So the first is for a pinned message or a notice, the second for where you are. Safety pin is the only other emoji under pin.
Lines that start with a pin
Location lines open with the round pushpin: in π City, Country, type your own place over the two words. Pinned lines open with the pushpin and most end in a colon, such as π Reminder:.
Where emoji are refused, Position indicator is a plain character that marks a spot.
Questions and answers
Which pin emoji is the location pin?
Round pushpin, U+1F4CD. It is the only emoji CLDR files under location, and one of three under map, with World map and Map of Japan.
What is the difference between the two pushpin emoji?
Their names and their search words. Pushpin is filed under collage, pin and pushpin; Round pushpin under location, map, pin, pushpin and round. Both are from Emoji 0.6 and sit side by side in Unicode's list, before the paperclips.
Is there a safety pin emoji?
Yes. Safety pin joined in Emoji 11.0. CLDR lists five words for it: diaper, pin, punk, rock and safety. Unicode has no straight sewing pin, so Sewing needle stands in here.
Is there a pin symbol that is not an emoji?
Unicode has one named Black pushpin, U+1F588, whose notes call it a marker. The computer this page was checked on has no font for it, so it is not on this page. The plain-text markers here, such as Position indicator and Bullseye, are older characters.

How this list was compiled: Built on 2026-10-01 from Unicode's own files, each 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), where Pushpin, Round pushpin, Paperclip and Linked paperclips stand in a row in the subgroup office. 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): pin is listed for three emoji (Pushpin, Round pushpin, Safety pin), location for Round pushpin only, map for World map, Map of Japan and Round pushpin, collage for Pushpin only, and sewing for Thread and Sewing needle. The plain-text markers and their names are from UnicodeData.txt, version 18.0.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/UnicodeData.txt); the note true position is from NamesList.txt, version 18.0.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/NamesList.txt). The same files hold Black pushpin, U+1F588, added in Unicode 7.0 with the note marker; it is not an emoji, and it is left out because no system font on the computer used for this page could draw it. Unicode data is used under the Unicode terms of use (https://www.unicode.org/terms_of_use.html). The location lines, the pinned lines, the three drawings and the combos are this site's own work; the tiles marked this page's pick and the notes on the plain-text markers are this site's own choice.
