Trap finds the net

Tap a tile to copy it. Search reads Unicode names and CLDR search words, so ladybug finds Lady beetle and trap finds Net with handle beside a web that caught a fly. Type rhyme for the waterspout and the tuffet.

An insect, according to the search list

Search insect and the spider comes up with 11 real ones. CLDR files it under animal, insect and spider, and has no word arachnid for anything. Scorpion gets neither animal nor insect, only its zodiac sign. Both Chinese characters for spider sit under the insect radical, so the dictionary agrees.

Tips

Text style turns Spider and Spider web into plain shapes in your text's colour, where the font has them.
CLDR files 11 emoji under halloween, and neither the spider nor its web is one. Ghost and Jack-o-lantern are.
In Japanese, kumo is both spider, 蜘蛛, and cloud, 雲. Unihan lists the reading for each.

Questions and answers

Is there a spider web emoji?

Yes. Spider web, U+1F578, is the next entry after the spider in Unicode's list, and like it has a text form. CLDR gives it two search words, spider and web. The only other emoji under web is Globe with meridians.

Why does the spider emoji copy as two characters?

U+1F577 came into Unicode 7.0 from a 1997 dingbat typeface, where the spider sat on the exclamation mark and the web on the quotation mark. Alone it defaults to a text symbol, so variation selector-16 rides behind it to ask for the colour picture.

Is there a spider symbol that is not an emoji?

Unicode 16.0 added two, Alien spider crouching and Alien spider spread, U+1CC52 and U+1CC53, in a block of symbols from old computers. Few fonts have them yet. The text spiders travel better: /\/\(oo)/\/\ is plain ASCII, eight legs included.

How this list was compiled: Built by script on 2026-09-19, not typed by hand. The 25 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. Spider, spider web and scorpion are consecutive entries of that file's animal-bug subgroup (17 entries), after cockroach and before mosquito. The 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). CLDR lists the word insect for 12 emoji, the spider among them, and neither file contains the word arachnid. It lists halloween for 11 emoji, neither of them the spider or its web, web for spider web and globe with meridians only, and pest for cockroach, mosquito and fly. The text forms come from emoji-variation-sequences.txt, version 18.0.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/emoji/emoji-variation-sequences.txt). On this page only Spider and Spider web offer theirs. That U+1F577 and U+1F578 lack the Emoji_Presentation property, so that the listed emoji carries U+FE0F, is from emoji-data.txt, version 18.0.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/emoji/emoji-data.txt); what the two variation selectors request is from UTS #51, version 18.0 (https://www.unicode.org/reports/tr51/). Every character that is not an emoji was checked against UnicodeData.txt, version 18.0.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/UnicodeData.txt), and a note that names a character uses its name from that file. That U+1F577 and U+1F578 date from Unicode 7.0 and the two alien spiders from Unicode 16.0 is from DerivedAge.txt, version 18.0.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/DerivedAge.txt); block names are from Blocks.txt (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/Blocks.txt). Wikipedia's article Webdings (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Webdings) records a dingbat typeface developed in 1997 whose pictographs were added to Unicode 7.0 in June 2014, with U+1F577 and U+1F578 in the second and third cells of its row 2, the places of the exclamation mark and the quotation mark. The meanings, readings and radicals of U+8718 and U+86DB are the kDefinition, kMandarin, kJapaneseKun and kRSUnicode values of the Unihan database, version 18.0.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/Unihan.zip), with the radical resolved through CJKRadicals.txt (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/CJKRadicals.txt). The words for spider are from Wiktionary (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E8%9C%98%E8%9B%9B and https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%CE%B1%CF%81%CE%AC%CF%87%CE%BD%CE%B7), which also records that the Greek word descends from the Ancient Greek one that arachnid was taken from (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/arachnid). That spiders and scorpions are arachnids with eight legs is from Wikipedia's article Spider (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spider). The rhymes and stories behind four combos are from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Itsy_Bitsy_Spider, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Miss_Muffet (first recorded in 1805), https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anansi and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arachne. The 7 text spiders are assembled by this site on a common leg pattern and each is checked to have eight leg strokes; the 2 words and the 15 combos are this site's own choice, and the combo names are our own. All sources were checked on 2026-09-19. Licence: own work: the selection, the combo names, the text drawings and the notes are ours.
