A quick choice checklist

Match the meaning. Start with symbol when that group fits your message.
Read the name. Compare House with House Buildings before you pick by shape.
Test the result. Paste the full value into the app, document, or profile where it will appear.

Home, building and place symbols are not equivalent

A house can mean a residence, homepage or property listing, while larger buildings can imply offices, institutions, worship or historic places.

Form	Useful context	Ambiguity to avoid
⌂	Compact typographic home or return-to-start cue	An unlabeled glyph may not be recognized as website navigation.
🏠 🏡	Home address, residence or neighborhood	Artwork can suggest different building styles across platforms.
🏢 🏛	Office, civic or institutional location	Do not assume one building identifies a specific organization.
🏰 🏯 🛖	Historic, regional or dwelling references	Use a written place name rather than treating architecture as a nationality label.

Practical note: A home button should include an accessible name. Property, address and travel content should retain the full location in text beside any building symbol.

Where to go next

Compare these choices with office symbols and transport symbols. For a deeper explanation, read Emoji Sequences Explained: Joiners, Skin Tones and Flags. For a quick answer first, see what is the difference between a symbol and an emoji?.

Tip: Pair anything decorative with real text. That is what search engines index and what screen readers announce.

How to use house symbols

Selecting an entry places its exact code points on your clipboard. Paste with Ctrl V, ⌘ V, or the Paste command on mobile.

01

Maps, itineraries and location notes

Reach for House, and never let it replace a word that matters.

02

Object labels and checklists

Emoji or pictograph suits object labels and checklists. Pick one whose stroke weight matches the text around it.

03

Security, home and travel captions

When creating security, home and travel captions, paste the complete entry — several of these are multi-code-point sequences that break if truncated.

How to type these house symbols directly

Every character here has a numeric identity, and that number is what the keyboard methods use: decimal on a Windows keypad, hexadecimal in Word and on macOS.

Character	Name	Windows	Hex	HTML
⌂	House	`Alt 8962`	`2302`	`⌂`
🏘	House Buildings	Not available	`1F3D8`	`🏘`
⛪	Church	`Alt 9962`	`26EA`	`⛪`
🏫	School	Not available	`1F3EB`	`🏫`
🏪	Convenience Store	Not available	`1F3EA`	`🏪`
🏬	Department Store	Not available	`1F3EC`	`🏬`

Two limits apply to alt codes: a physical keypad, and a ceiling at U+FFFF. 35 entries here sit above that ceiling. A further 6 are sequences, which no shortcut reproduces — copy those instead. The complete keyboard guide covers every platform method in full.

06

How house symbols render across fonts, apps and devices

Miscellaneous Symbols and Pictographs is the main home for these, with 88% of the set. The rest come from Symbols and Pictographs Extended-A and Miscellaneous Technical. 2 are plain text and follow your font.

The other 42 are emoji. Your phone or computer paints those in colour. Unicode files the emoji ones under Travel & Places and Objects.

6 entries are made of several parts. Copy the whole thing, or it breaks apart. Some are as recent as Emoji 13.0, so old devices may draw an empty box.

What travels is the character; what you see is whatever font the destination reaches for. That is why the same house symbol can look heavier on a phone than in a document.

Common mistakes with house symbols

1
Treating House and House Buildings as the same character.
2
Expecting one rule to cover all 44 entries.
3
Copying only part of one of the 6 multi-code-point sequences instead of the whole value.
4
Reaching for one of the 42 emoji entries where a text mark was needed, so the colour artwork clashes with the surrounding type.

House Symbols questions and answers

What is the difference between House and House Buildings?+

Different code points, similar shapes. House sits at U+2302 and House Buildings at U+1F3D8, so search, sorting and screen readers treat them as unrelated characters even where they look the same.

What is the HTML code for house?+

⌂ is the hexadecimal form and ⌂ the decimal one; both render as ⌂. On a page that declares UTF-8 you can also just paste the character.

Which house symbols work as plain text rather than emoji?+

2 of the 44 are ordinary text characters. They take the colour and weight of the surrounding font, which suits documents, code and interface labels. The other 42 are emoji and arrive as colour artwork you cannot restyle.

Why does one of these house symbols split apart when I paste it?+

6 entries here are sequences of more than one code point. If the destination does not support the sequence, or if the copy was truncated, the parts render individually. Copy the entry with the button rather than by selecting the characters.

Which Unicode block are these house symbols in?+

Chiefly Miscellaneous Symbols and Pictographs, which accounts for 35; the rest come from Symbols and Pictographs Extended-A and Miscellaneous Technical. Coverage tends to follow the block: long-established ones render nearly everywhere, recent additions do not.

Will these house symbols work on older phones?+

The newest entry on this page was introduced in Emoji 13.0. Devices that have not received a font update since then will show a blank rectangle instead. Test on a real older device before using a recent character where the meaning matters.
