Beer Emoji: Copy and Paste
Two characters in Unicode are actually beer: Beer Mug U+1F37A and Clinking Beer Mugs U+1F37B. Everything else people paste for beer is a near miss. Copy both here, then follow the links for the specific ones.

The two real beer characters
| Character | Official Unicode name | Codepoint | Added in | What it draws |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 🍺 | Beer Mug | U+1F37A | Unicode 6.0 | One dimpled stein with a handle and a foam head |
| 🍻 | Clinking Beer Mugs | U+1F37B | Unicode 6.0 | Two of the same mugs, mid-toast |
That is the entire beer inventory. Both arrived in 2010 with the first food and drink batch, and nothing has been added since.
The near misses
These get pressed into service as beer and are not beer:
- 🥃 Tumbler Glass U+1F943 is a rocks glass with amber liquid. It reads as whiskey, not as a half pint.
- ⛾ Cup On Black Square U+26FE is a text symbol from Miscellaneous Symbols, not part of the emoji set. Font coverage is patchy, so it often arrives as an empty rectangle.
- 🥤 Cup With Straw U+1F964 is a soda cup, occasionally used for a plastic cup of beer at a festival.
- 🍾 Bottle With Popping Cork U+1F37E is the only bottle in the drink set and it reads as champagne.
Things that do not exist
- No beer bottle and no beer can. Neither was ever encoded. What to use instead.
- No green beer. The color lives in the font, not in the character, so nothing you type changes it. March posts pair 🍺 with 💚 Green Heart U+1F49A.
- No animated beer. Unicode characters do not move. Animated mugs in Slack or Discord are custom image uploads on one server and do not paste out as text.
- No pint glass, pilsner or tulip glass. The vessel is fixed. The mug page covers the shapes and the substitutes.
The rest of the beer cluster
- Beer mug emoji for the single mug, the stein question and the platform art
- Beer cheers emoji for the toast and the doubling trap
- Beer bottle emoji for the character that does not exist
- Beer symbol for text symbols, ancient marks and the craft brewer seal
- Beer ASCII art for the drawn versions that keep their shape in plain text
- Drinking beer emoji for the person-plus-drink combinations
Caveats
- Screen readers speak the short names, beer mug and clinking beer mugs. A long run of either is read out in full.
- Username fields reject emoji on most platforms. Display names and bios usually accept them.
- Both characters are alcohol imagery, which is worth a thought before a work channel or a public profile.
