What the character is

Beer Mug, U+1F37A, entered Unicode 6.0 in 2010 with the first food and drink batch. The name is Beer Mug, and beer mug is also what a screen reader speaks. It is a single vessel. The two-mug toast is a separate codepoint, Clinking Beer Mugs U+1F37B, and it has its own page.

It is a stein, not a glass

Every major vendor draws U+1F37A as a dimpled, handled mug. That is why searches for beer glass emoji keep bouncing: Unicode has no pint glass, no pilsner flute, no tulip glass, no snifter and no shaker pint. The 2010 emoji were carried over from the sets Japanese mobile carriers were already using, and what those carried was a mug.

Character Name Codepoint Added in Use it as
🥃 Tumbler Glass U+1F943 Unicode 9.0 The closest straight-sided glass. Amber liquid, so it also reads as whiskey
🥤 Cup With Straw U+1F964 Unicode 11.0 A plastic festival cup, if you can ignore the straw
🍻 Clinking Beer Mugs U+1F37B Unicode 6.0 Two of the same mug, for a round
Cup On Black Square U+26FE Unicode 5.2 A monochrome text symbol, not an emoji. Often shows as an empty box

How the platforms differ

The variable is the head. Apple, Google, Samsung and Microsoft all draw the same object, but the amount of foam and the tilt differ enough to change the read at chat size. With a tall white head the glyph looks mostly white in a message list. With a thin head it looks like a mug of plain amber. Some versions add bubbles or a highlight on the glass, some leave it flat. None of them takes a skin tone modifier, because there is no hand in the character.

Green beer, and other things you cannot type

There is no green beer mug. The color belongs to the emoji font, not to the character, so nothing typed will change it. The usual workaround is 🍺 next to 💚 Green Heart U+1F49A. There is also no beer mug text symbol in the sense people mean, no ASCII-style mug that survives in a plain field except as drawn text, which is what beer ASCII art is for.

Caveats

  • Screen readers say beer mug once per character. A run of ten is spoken ten times.
  • Handles, usernames and email local parts reject it on most platforms. Display names usually accept it.
  • Pasted into a document or a design tool, it renders in that tool’s emoji font, which may look nothing like your phone’s version.
  • It is alcohol imagery, which some workplaces and some public profiles would rather avoid.

The whole beer set, including the characters that were never encoded, is indexed on beer emoji copy and paste, and the historical marks are on beer symbol.
