Questions and answers
Is there a water emoji?
Not one named water alone. CLDR, Unicode's list of search words, files fifteen emoji under water, among them Droplet, Sweat droplets, Water wave, Shower and Potable water. Droplet is first here because Unicode's notes say it stands for a drop of water.
What is the water drop emoji called?
Droplet. It is U+1F4A7, from Emoji 0.6, and CLDR also files it under drop, tear and sweat. The emoji with several drops is Sweat droplets, U+1F4A6.
What is the symbol for water?
In plain text: ζ°΄, the Han character for water; β΅, the water trigram, which Unicode's notes call kan; and the alchemical symbol for water, U+1F704. Among emoji, CLDR files Aquarius under water too.
How do you type H2O with a small 2?
Use the subscript two, U+2082: HβO. It is a character of its own, not a formatted 2, so the formula stays three characters of plain text. The formula line on this page carries it.

How this list was compiled: Built on 2026-10-01 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). No entry is named water alone; CLDR files fifteen emoji under water. Droplet is U+1F4A7, Emoji 0.6, in the subgroup sky & weather directly after Fire and before Water wave. 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). Han definitions and readings are from the Unihan database, version 18.0.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/Unihan.zip). Unicode's own notes on a character are from NamesList.txt, version 18.0.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/NamesList.txt). The notes say Droplet stands for a drop of water or of sweat, give the water trigram the name kan, and say of U+2EA1, the radical character that points to U+6C35, that it is a variant of Kangxi radical 85 used on the left side.
