Violin emoji copy and paste, and the fiddle emoji

Violin is from Emoji 0.6, printed between Musical keyboard and Banjo. Fiddle is not among its CLDR search words and no emoji is named fiddle, but by Wikipedia a fiddle is the same instrument: the difference is the style of music played on it.

The tiny violin emoji is two emoji

No single emoji is a tiny violin. Tiny violin puts Pinching hand before the violin. Wiktionary defines the world’s smallest violin as a notional violin playing tragic music for the afflicted, brought up to dismiss complaints.

  • By Wikipedia the four strings are tuned G, D, A, E, low to high. The tile G D A E copies them.
  • A string quartet is two violins, a viola and a cello, by Wikipedia. The combo String quartet is four violins.

Questions and answers

Is there a violin symbol?

Not a drawing of one: the emoji has no text style form. The nearest plain characters are Treble clef, the clef violin music is written in by Wikipedia, and ƒ, which looks like one of the two f-holes.

How do you type a violin emoticon?

Type @==(8): an at sign for the scroll, two equals signs for the neck and an 8 in parentheses for the body.

What does the 🎻 emoji mean?

A violin, and music in general: CLDR files it under music and instrument. In chat it can also mean mock sympathy, from the saying about the world’s smallest violin that Wiktionary records.

Is there a cello or viola emoji?

No. No emoji has cello or viola in its name, and CLDR files nothing under those words. By Wikipedia the violin is the smallest of its family in regular use, and its name means little viola.

How this list was compiled: Built on 2026-10-08 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). Violin is U+1F3BB, Emoji 0.6, in the subgroup musical-instrument: Musical keyboard is printed before it and Banjo after it. CLDR gives it three search words (instrument, music, violin); no emoji is named or filed under fiddle, cello or viola, and CLDR files nothing under tiny. The names of the G clef and the f with hook are from UnicodeData.txt, version 18.0.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/UnicodeData.txt); the emoji has no text style row in https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/emoji/emoji-variation-sequences.txt. The instrument (also called a fiddle, the difference being the style of music; the smallest in regular use in its family; four strings tuned G, D, A, E; pizzicato plucked with a finger of the right hand) is from Wikipedia, Violin (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Violin, CC BY-SA 4.0); that violin means little viola from Wikipedia, Violin family (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Violin_family); that violin music uses the treble clef from Wikipedia, Clef (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clef); f-holes from Wikipedia, Sound hole (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_hole); the string quartet (two violins, a viola and a cello) from Wikipedia, String quartet (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/String_quartet). The sayings are as Wiktionary defines them: world's smallest violin, second fiddle, fit as a fiddle and fiddle while Rome burns (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/world%27s_smallest_violin, https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/second_fiddle, https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/fit_as_a_fiddle, https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/fiddle_while_Rome_burns, CC BY-SA 4.0). The subgroup musical-instrument holds 13 emoji, Saxophone first and Harp last. The five typed violins, the six lines and the thirteen combos are this site’s own work. Licence: own work: the selection, the combo names, the text drawings and the notes are this site's own.
