A sunflower text symbol, since Unicode has no plain one
The emoji has no text style form, and no other character is named sunflower. The closest plain characters are the florettes, β βΏ β βΎ, and β, which Unicode names Flower. For a sunflower copy and paste symbol with a stem, take (β)>--,--.
The name says it turns. The flower stops
Spanish girasol and Italian girasole are turn plus sun, and Japanese himawari is sun plus turning, as Wiktionary has it. By Wikipedia only the young buds follow the sun across the sky. A mature head faces east all day, hence the combo Facing east.
Questions and answers
Is there an alt code sunflower symbol?
No. An Alt code typed on a number pad gives a character of a code page such as 437 or 850, and neither holds a sunflower. Where Alt codes follow code page 437, Alt+15 types βΌ, White sun with rays. Copy the flower here.
How do you make a sunflower emoticon?
Put the emoji in a text faceβs hand: (β’βΏβ’)γπ» waves one and π»(α΅β‘α΅)π» stands between two. With keyboard characters only, {(o)}--,-- is a head, a stem and a leaf.
What does the sunflower emoji mean?
Unicode gives it a name and no meaning. The name is its own gloss: sun plus flower in English, in the German Sonnenblume and in the genus name Helianthus, which joins the Greek words for sun and flower.

How this list was compiled: Built on 2026-10-07 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). Sunflower is U+1F33B, Emoji 0.6, in the subgroup plant-flower between Hibiscus and Blossom; CLDR gives it five search words and files only Hiking boot under outdoors beside it. 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), which names no character but the emoji for a sunflower; the emoji has no text style row in https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/emoji/emoji-variation-sequences.txt, and the sun has one. The Han definition and reading are from the Unihan database, version 18.0.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/Unihan.zip). The Alt code of the white sun (15, code pages 437 and 850) and the limit of keypad numbers in some applications (65,535) are from Wikipedia, Alt code (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alt_code, CC BY-SA 4.0). That mature heads face east and only young buds follow the sun, and that Helianthus joins the Greek for sun and flower, are from Wikipedia, Common sunflower (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_sunflower, CC BY-SA 4.0). The six names and what their parts mean are from Wiktionary: sunflower, girasol, girasole, tournesol, Sonnenblume, εζ₯θ΅ and Ξ·Ξ»Ξ―Ξ±Ξ½ΞΈΞΏΟ (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/sunflower and the entry of each word, CC BY-SA 4.0). The eight drawings and emoticons and the twelve combos are this siteβs own work. Licence: own work: the selection, the combo names, the text drawings and the notes are this site's own.
