Beer Bottle Emoji (and What to Use Instead)
There is no beer bottle emoji and no beer can emoji. Unicode never encoded either one. This page gives the honest answer first, then the four characters people substitute and what each one actually reads as.

The short answer
Unicode has no beer bottle, no beer can and no keg. Not a longneck, not a stubby, not a crate. Emoji encyclopedias have nothing to show for this search because they are organised around characters that exist, and this one does not.
What to use instead
| Character | Official Unicode name | Codepoint | Honestly reads as |
|---|---|---|---|
| 🍾 | Bottle With Popping Cork | U+1F37E | Champagne. The only bottle-shaped drink character there is, and the flying cork gives it away |
| 🍺 | Beer Mug | U+1F37A | Beer, correctly. Poured rather than bottled, which is usually close enough |
| 🍶 | Sake Bottle And Cup | U+1F376 | A small flask with its cup. The nearest bottle silhouette after the champagne one |
| 🧃 | Beverage Box | U+1F9C3 | A juice carton with a straw. Pressed into service for cans by people out of options |
Why the gap exists
The food and drink emoji arrived in Unicode 6.0 in 2010 as a mapping of the sets Japanese mobile carriers were already sending between handsets. A beer mug was in that batch. Bottled beer was not. Later rounds filled other holes in the bar, including Bottle With Popping Cork in Unicode 8.0, Clinking Glasses and Tumbler Glass in 9.0 and Beverage Box in 12.0, and the bottle of beer never came back around.
The one thing that does look like a longneck
Text art. A bottle drawn from brackets and slashes keeps its silhouette in any plain field, which no single character manages. Beer ASCII art has the longneck, the mug and the tap handle, and they paste as ordinary text.
Related searches with the same answer
- Beer can has no character. 🧃 and 🥤 Cup With Straw U+1F964 are the usual fallbacks.
- Beer keg has no character, and nothing in the set is even barrel-shaped.
- Craft beer, Belgian beer, stout have no style-specific characters. Every beer search resolves to 🍺 or 🍻, covered on the mug page.
- Named brands have no codepoints at all. Brand marks are trademarked logos and image files, which is a different subject and one the beer symbol page takes up.
Caveats
- Sending 🍾 to mean bottled beer will be read as celebration by most people. It is the strongest false signal on this page.
- Screen readers speak the official short names, so 🍶 is announced as sake, not as a bottle of beer.
- None of these substitutes is a beer character in any platform’s search index either, so typing beer into an emoji keyboard will not surface them.
