How it works

Shamrock and Four leaf clover, a leaf over the limit, are the two emoji CLDR, Unicode's list of search words, files under irish. Then the flag and 72 more: leprechaun stand-ins, lines and ASCII art. St Patrick's Day emoji copy and paste, one tap each.

The leprechaun problem

For leprechaun emoji copy and paste there is nothing to copy: no emoji name and no CLDR search word holds the word. Leprechaun: no emoji, so the nearest offers Man elf, filed under folklore and magic, and Man mage. Wikipedia's Leprechaun article says he wore red, not green, before the 20th century.

Three leaves or four

Wikipedia's Shamrock article traces the word to the Irish for young clover. Four leaf clover is a separate character, U+1F340, and the only emoji CLDR files under lucky. For St Patrick emoji copy and paste, take the three leaves. Shamrock has a text form: Text style makes it a plain character.

Tips

Type fiddle and Violin answers. Tricolour finds the flag and four ways to build it, each starting with green, the hoist colour.
For St Patrick's Day emojis copy and paste in one go, Everything Irish at once holds the flag, both plants and a green heart.
Some name fields refuse emoji. Shamrock, no emoji selector is the bare character, and Ogham feather marks make brackets from the alphabet of early Irish.

Questions and answers

Is there a leprechaun emoji?

No, so leprechaun emoji copy paste means pasting a stand-in. Leprechaun, assembled pastes an elf, a top hat and a shamrock. CLDR files Treasure chest under gold, but it is Emoji 17.0, the newest here, so an older phone shows an empty box.

Is the four leaf clover a St Patrick's Day emoji?

By the search words, yes. By the plant, no. Wikipedia says it is customary to wear shamrocks on the day, and calls the fourth leaf a rare mutation that tradition counts lucky. Three leaves, then four pastes both. Clover emoji has more.

Is it St Paddy's Day or St Patty's Day?

Wikipedia lists both nicknames and marks St Patty's Day as mainly North American. The day's Irish name is Lá Fhéile Pádraig, with a d where Patty wants a t. A shamrock at each end avoids the question by spelling Patrick in full.

Lucky, as a Han character U+5409. Unihan defines it as lucky, propitious, good.
Ogham feather mark U+169B Ogham feather mark. Unicode's notes say it marks the beginning of Ogham text. Wikipedia gives Ogham as an early medieval alphabet for early Irish. It shows as an empty box where no font has Ogham.
Ogham reversed feather mark U+169C Ogham reversed feather mark. It marks the end of Ogham text, so the pair make brackets. It shows as an empty box where no font has Ogham.
Shamrock, no emoji selector U+2618 Shamrock. The bare character, without the U+FE0F that asks for a picture. Some apps draw the picture anyway.
White club suit U+2667 White club suit. The club in outline. Not an emoji, so it takes the colour and size of your words.

The session Violin, then accordion, then flute, then drum, then harp. Five instruments and nowhere to sit.

How this list was compiled: Built by script on 2026-09-19, not typed by hand. The 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. 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). No emoji name and no CLDR search word holds leprechaun, patrick, paddy, fiddle, parade or celtic. CLDR lists irish for two emoji (shamrock, four leaf clover), lucky for four leaf clover alone, green for twelve, gold for five, and horseshoe for the magnet alone; six emoji have pot in a name or search word. The first group is the two irish emoji and the flag; the rest are our own picks. 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). Flag sequences were checked against emoji-sequences.txt, version 18.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/emoji/emoji-sequences.txt). 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. Notes about what a character is used for come from the annotations in NamesList.txt, version 18.0.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/NamesList.txt). Meanings of Chinese characters come from the kDefinition field of Unihan_Readings.txt in Unihan.zip, version 18.0.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/Unihan.zip). What the pages say about the day, the shamrock, the four-leaf clover, the leprechaun, the flag, the coat of arms and Ogham is from the English Wikipedia articles Saint Patrick's Day (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Patrick%27s_Day), Shamrock (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shamrock), Four-leaf clover (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four-leaf_clover), Leprechaun (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leprechaun), Flag of Ireland (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_Ireland), Coat of arms of Ireland (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coat_of_arms_of_Ireland) and Ogham (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ogham), read on 2026-09-19.
