Sombrero hat emoji, by what the hat is

By Wikipedia a sombrero is a wide-brimmed hat that shields the face and eyes from the sun, with a high, pointed crown, a brim turned up at the edge and a chin strap. It adds that sombreros, like cowboy hats, were shaped by sun and heat, so the cowboy hat face leads.

A word that means shade

Wiktionary traces sombrero to sombra, shade, plus an ending: literally a shade-maker. In English the word once also meant an umbrella, and in bowling it is four strikes in a row. Both have a tile here.

  • ∩ is a maths sign that Unicode also calls cap and hat: a crown with no brim.

Questions and answers

Not by that name. Unicode's emoji list, version 18.0, has no emoji named sombrero, and CLDR's English search words do not hold it. Three emoji have hat in their names, and 🤠 Cowboy hat face is the first.

Is there an emoji with a sombrero?

No face is named for one. Unicode's row of faces in hats has three emoji: Cowboy hat face, Partying face and Disguised face. For a face under a typed sombrero, copy <]:-) from the typed group.

Is there a Mexican sombrero emoji?

No. By Wikipedia the hat English calls a sombrero is the sombrero de charro in Mexico, and no emoji is named for it. The tile Flag: Mexico is here for a caption, and sombrero de charro is a line to copy.

Type a backslash, two underscores and a slash for one edge of the brim, a caret for the crown, then the same four characters again: \__/^\__/. Every character is on a US keyboard.
