Traveling emoji, copy and paste: π§³ Luggage comes first. After it is Unicode's Travel & Places group in its own order, from globes and beaches to trains, boats and planes, then travel signs in plain text and trip combos.

What Unicode counts as travel
The Travel & Places group runs from maps and mountains through buildings and transport to a bellhop bell and a suitcase. It also holds clocks and weather, which have pages of their own. CLDR files the word travel under twelve emoji, and two of them sit outside the group: Moai and Baggage claim.
Signs for a name field
Seven travel emoji are given a second time in text style: airplane, anchor, sailboat, ferry, mountain, fuel pump and hot springs. Each is the emoji followed by the selector U+FE0E, which asks for a plain outline.
Landslide is new in Emoji 17.0 and Lighthouse in Emoji 18.0. Until a device maker adds the drawings, both show as empty boxes.
Search takes a place word: beach finds Beach with umbrella, and castle finds two.
Questions and answers
What is the travel emoji?
There is no single one. π§³ Luggage, from Emoji 11.0, is the suitcase, and βοΈ Airplane is the other usual pick. CLDR files travel under twelve emoji, with trains, boats and a rocket among them.
Is there a travel symbol to copy and paste as plain text?
Yes: βοΈ, βοΈ, β΅οΈ and β°οΈ in text style, in the group near the end. They are ordinary text, so they take the color and size of the words round them.
Is there a passport emoji?
No emoji is a passport. The nearest is π Passport control, a sign Unicode keeps with the symbols, and it is the only emoji with passport in its name.
Why do some travel emoji show as a box?
A phone draws only the emoji it has pictures for. An emoji from a later version than the phone knows shows as an empty box until the phone is updated.

How this list was compiled: Names, code points, sequences, skin tones and Emoji version numbers come from Unicode's emoji-test.txt, version 18.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/emoji/emoji-test.txt); item names are the CLDR short names with a capital. Search words are the CLDR English annotations (https://github.com/unicode-org/cldr/blob/main/common/annotations/en.xml, main branch). Text forms come from emoji-variation-sequences.txt (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/emoji/emoji-variation-sequences.txt) and the names of plain characters from UnicodeData.txt and NamesList.txt, version 18.0.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/UnicodeData.txt, https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/NamesList.txt). The emoji are the group Travel & Places of emoji-test.txt in file order: nine of its eleven subgroups, 141 of their 142 emoji (Love hotel is left out). The subgroups time and sky & weather, 31 and 48 emoji, are left to this site's clock, weather and moon pages. It is checked that travel is a CLDR search word of twelve emoji, ten of them in this group, and that passport appears in one emoji name only. Formal names are from UnicodeData.txt. Five more emoji come from outside the group and each note says where Unicode keeps them. The seven text-style signs are emoji followed by U+FE0E. The combos and their names are this site's own. No place, airline or brand is named and there is no travel advice. Licence: own work (the selection, the combo names and the wording are this site's own; emoji names, sequences and search words come from Unicode's data files and CLDR, under the Unicode License v3; facts from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0, restated in this site's own words and credited in source)
