How it works

A portal is an entrance, by Wiktionary, and in fantasy an opening to another place, time or dimension. The portal emoji here is Door, the only emoji CLDR files under door, then Cyclone, the swirl.

Read the full guide

Swirl, hole and opening

CLDR is the word list behind emoji search, and it treats the swirl as weather: Cyclone has six words, hurricane, twister and typhoon among them. Swirl leads to Fish cake with swirl alone and opening to Window alone. Unicode’s own note on Hole is portable hole.

Gate, website, wormhole

Portal goes back to Latin porta, a gate, and in architecture it is a grand entrance, by Wikipedia. Online it is a site that opens onto others, so Web portal starts with Globe with meridians, filed under web and internet. A wormhole is a hypothetical shortcut through spacetime, by Wiktionary.

  • Step through uses Person walking facing right, from Emoji 15.1, so an older phone may not draw it as one picture.

Questions and answers

Is there a portal emoji?

Not by that name. Unicode’s emoji list, version 18.0, names a door, a hole and a window, and nothing for a portal, a gateway or a doorway. 🚪🌀 is the pair on this page.

Is there a portal symbol?

No character is named portal. For a ring in plain text, ◯ is Large circle and ◎ is Bullseye. 門 is gate, door, entrance or opening in the Unihan database, and ( @ ) is a swirl in a ring from the keyboard.

Is there a teleport emoji?

No emoji is named for it, and CLDR files nothing under teleport. The combo Teleported is 🧍💨✨: Person standing, then Dashing away, then Sparkles, which is filed under magic.
