How it works

The volcano emoji is 🌋, U+1F30B, from Emoji 0.6. Unicode prints it among the mountains, between Landslide and 🗻 Mount Fuji, and CLDR, its list of search words, files no other emoji under volcano or eruption.

A volcano symbol in plain text

Unicode names one volcano character, the emoji, and gives it no text style. The plain stand-ins are ⛰︎, the Mountain character drawn flat, and 火山, the Chinese and Japanese word, written fire then mountain.

Where the word volcano comes from

By Wiktionary, English borrowed it from Italian vulcano, from Vulcano, a small volcanic island in the Tyrrhenian Sea, named for Vulcan, Roman god of metalworking and fire. Icelandic builds its own word, eldfjall, from fire and mountain.

  • Lava is magma that has broken the earth's surface, by Wiktionary: below ground the same molten rock is magma.

Questions and answers

What does the volcano emoji mean?

A volcano: by Wikipedia a vent or fissure in the crust that lets hot lava, volcanic ash and gases get out of a magma chamber under the surface. CLDR’s four words for 🌋 are eruption, mountain, nature and volcano.

Is there a lava emoji?

Not by that name: CLDR files nothing under lava, magma or ash. 🔥 Fire is one of ten filed under hot. The combo Lava meets sea puts 🌋 before 🌊 Water wave.

How do you type a volcano emoticon?

Wikipedia’s list of emoticons has none for a volcano, so these are this page's own. The tile __/^\__ is a quiet cone, and asterisks beside the caret make it erupt: __/*^*\__.
