What Unicode files under space
Search reads names and CLDR, Unicode's list of search words, plus a few words of ours. CLDR files 23 emoji under space: eleven are moons, and the other twelve are all here, from Rocket to Meteor. Saturn finds six tiles, launch finds five, and ufo finds Flying saucer first.
Planets that have no emoji
Earth has three globes, and Saturn is the word CLDR files under Ringed planet. For the other six, use the planet signs. βΏ β β β β β are plain text and take the colour of your words, and one line has the Sun and all eight planets in order.
Tips
Meteor is from Emoji 18.0, the newest version, and shows as an empty box until a phone has it. Comet goes back to Emoji 1.0.
Comet, Sun and Satellite have a plain text form. Switch to Text style and they take the colour of your words.
The three astronauts take skin tones, and the tone row sets all three at once.
Questions and answers
Is there a blank space emoji?
No. Every emoji is a picture, so none is blank. A blank you can paste is an invisible text character, such as U+3164, Hangul filler. The invisible text generator on this site has 33 of them.
Is there a galaxy emoji?
None is named galaxy. Milky way, U+1F30C, is the nearest: the Milky Way is the galaxy that includes the Solar System. Unicode's search words have no universe, cosmos, asteroid or eclipse either, and Black hole here is a combo built on Hole.
Is there an emoji for every planet?
No. Earth has three globes, and Saturn is Ringed planet, from Emoji 12.0. Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Uranus and Neptune have none. Their signs are in the planet signs group, next to Pluto's.
What is the astronaut emoji made of?
Three characters: a person, an invisible joiner, U+200D, and a rocket. Unicode's emoji standard says a system with no single picture for the sequence ignores the joiner, so it shows the person and the rocket side by side.
