The stop sign emoji and eight more

CLDR, Unicode’s list of search words, files nine emoji under stop: the sign, Bus stop, both traffic lights, Stop button and four hands. Hand with fingers splayed carries Unicode’s own note, halt, and the two pushing hands are filed under halt, pause and wait as well.

Stop sign text

U+1F6D1 has no text style, so a stop symbol in text is another character: ⏹, which Unicode names Black square for stop. Unicode cross-references a plain octagon, U+2BC3, to the sign too, but it may show as an empty box. Typed with keys, the sign is the word in brackets: (STOP).

Questions and answers

What does the πŸ›‘ emoji mean?

Stop, as on the road. Wiktionary defines a stop sign as a sign beside a street or road, often at an intersection, telling drivers to stop.

Is there a red stop sign emoji?

Yes, πŸ›‘ is it. Unicode notes that the character may contain text indicating stop, and by Wikipedia the road sign in many countries is a red octagon with STOP in white or yellow. Japan’s sign is a triangle.

Which hand emoji means stop?

CLDR files four under stop: βœ‹ Raised hand, πŸ–οΈ Hand with fingers splayed, 🫷 Leftwards pushing hand and 🫸 Rightwards pushing hand. The pushing hands are from Emoji 15.0, so an older phone may show them as empty boxes.

How this list was compiled: Built on 2026-10-09 from sources read that day. The emoji, their names, code points and Emoji version numbers are from the Unicode emoji list, 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. 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). Stop sign is U+1F6D1, Emoji 3.0, in the group Travel & Places, subgroup transport-ground: Vertical traffic light is printed before it and Construction after it. CLDR gives it three search words (octagonal, sign, stop) and files nine emoji under stop: Hand with fingers splayed, Raised hand, Leftwards pushing hand, Rightwards pushing hand, Bus stop, Horizontal traffic light, Vertical traffic light, Stop sign and Stop button. The two pushing hands are Emoji 15.0 and the only emoji filed under halt. Character names are from UnicodeData.txt, version 18.0.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/UnicodeData.txt): U+1F6D1 is Octagonal sign and U+23F9 is Black square for stop. Unicode’s notes (Octagonal sign: stop sign, maybe with text saying stop; Raised hand with fingers splayed: halt; Circled triangle down: interrupt, break) and the cross-reference from Horizontal black octagon (U+2BC3, which drew as an empty box when tested and has no tile) to the sign are from NamesList.txt (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/NamesList.txt); U+1F6D1 dates from Unicode 9.0 by DerivedAge.txt (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/DerivedAge.txt) and has no text style row in https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/emoji/emoji-variation-sequences.txt, while U+23F9 and U+26D4 have one. The two Han characters are defined as in the Unihan database, version 18.0.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/Unihan.zip).
