Object emoji organized by the action they support
This broad inventory covers devices, tools, documents, household items and gifts. Choosing by task prevents a familiar-looking object from becoming an unclear interface command.
| Object family | Examples | Best practice |
|---|---|---|
| Devices and media | 📱 💻 📷 📺 | Label actions such as Call, Upload or Watch instead of showing hardware alone. |
| Tools and repair | 🔧 🔨 ⚙ 🧲 | Choose the actual tool only when the distinction matters to the instruction. |
| Documents and office | 📄 📊 📅 📎 | Keep file type, date or attachment state available as searchable text. |
| Home, safety and gifts | 🔑 🧯 🎁 🎈 | Do not use a decorative object as the sole warning or security status. |
Practical note: Emoji object artwork is pictorial and platform-specific. For controls, pair each icon with a stable word and test the saved interface at small sizes.
Where to go next
Compare these choices with office symbols and lock & key symbols. For a deeper explanation, read Symbol Compatibility: Fonts, Devices and Missing Glyphs. If one question is enough, read do unicode symbols work on every device and app?.
Tip: Keep the plain words next to the symbol. Text is what makes a design searchable and readable to someone using a screen reader.

How to use object emoji symbols
Copying stores text, so the value survives the clipboard intact. Paste it with Ctrl V, ⌘ V or your device's Paste command.
01
Maps, itineraries and location notes

02
Object labels and checklists

How to type object emoji symbols on a keyboard
Copying is quicker, but these are typeable too. On Windows the alt code is the character's decimal code point; in Word the hexadecimal followed by Alt X does the same job without a keypad.
| Character | Name | Windows | Hex | HTML |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ⌚ | Watch | Alt 8986 | 231A | ⌚ |
| ⛓ | Chains | Alt 9939 | 26D3 | ⛓ |
| 🗝 | Old Key | Not available | 1F5DD | 🗝 |
| 🖋 | Lower Left Fountain Pen | Not available | 1F58B | 🖋 |
| 🔆 | Bright Button | Not available | 1F506 | 🔆 |
| 🎶 | Musical Notes | Not available | 1F3B6 | 🎶 |
Alt codes reach only the first 65,536 code points, and only from a numeric keypad. 333 entries here sit above that ceiling. A further 68 are sequences, which no shortcut reproduces — copy those instead. The complete keyboard guide covers every platform method in full.
06
How object emoji symbols render across fonts, apps and devices
Unicode keeps 69% of these in Miscellaneous Symbols and Pictographs. The rest come from Supplemental Symbols and Pictographs and Symbols and Pictographs Extended-A. Every one of the 426 is emoji.
Colour comes from the device. Unicode files the emoji ones under Objects and Activities. 68 entries are made of several parts.
1 of those are held together by a hidden joiner. Copy the whole thing, or it breaks apart. Some are as recent as Emoji 17.0, so old devices may draw an empty box.
A pasted entry is redrawn by the receiving application's font. Expect small differences in width and weight across devices, and larger ones where a font lacks the character entirely.

Object Emoji Symbols questions and answers
What is the difference between Watch and Chains?+
U+231A is Watch; U+26D3 is Chains. Because the encoded identity differs, substituting one for the other can change what a reader or a piece of software understands.
What is the HTML code for watch?+
Write ⌚ (hex) or ⌚ (decimal) to get ⌚. Numeric references sidestep encoding problems in older toolchains.
Why do these object emoji symbols look different on iPhone and Android?+
All 426 entries here carry emoji properties, mostly from the Objects group. The code point is identical everywhere, but Apple, Google, Microsoft and Samsung each ship their own artwork for it, so the drawing changes while the meaning does not.
Why does one of these object emoji symbols split apart when I paste it?+
68 entries here are sequences of more than one code point, and 1 of those are held together by a zero-width joiner. 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 object emoji symbols in?+
Miscellaneous Symbols and Pictographs holds most of them — 247 characters; the rest come from Supplemental Symbols and Pictographs and Symbols and Pictographs Extended-A. Coverage tends to follow the block: long-established ones render nearly everywhere, recent additions do not.
Will these object emoji symbols work on older phones?+
The newest entry on this page was introduced in Emoji 17.0. 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.
