Activities is the smallest of the nine groups with 85 symbols, and it covers what people do: events, hobbies, sports and awards. These are the symbols used to announce plans, celebrate results and name a discipline without spelling it out.

What you will find in this group

The group splits into celebration entries, games, sports and the arts. Celebration covers parties, gifts and seasonal events; sports cover both the equipment and the people taking part.

Because each entry names an activity rather than a thing, these symbols work as shorthand for plans. One symbol can replace a whole invitation.

How these emoji are used

Event symbols are the fastest way to state an occasion. A cake, a trophy or a party symbol tells the reader what kind of gathering it is before any detail is given.

Sports symbols are used by fans and by players alike, both to name a discipline and to report a result. They are common in fixture lists and group chats.

Awards and milestones

Medal and trophy entries mark achievement. They are widely used for results, personal bests and work milestones, and they read as congratulation without any wording.

The celebration subgroup is also where most seasonal symbols live, so the same corner of the standard covers birthdays, festivals and holidays.

Cross-platform notes

Sports artwork is reasonably consistent, though some platforms draw equipment in a different style. The Unicode name always settles what the symbol is.

A few newer entries, particularly recent sports and instruments, may not appear on older systems.

Copying emoji from this page

Every one of the 85 symbols in Activities supports emoji copy and paste. Nothing is rendered as an image, so what you copy keeps the same code point on iOS, Android, Windows, macOS and the web.

On a phone the system keyboard is often the fastest route, but a browser tab is easier when you want a specific variant — skin tone, gender or hair color — that the keyboard buries three taps deep.
