Cheers Emoji: Copy and Paste
Three separate Unicode characters carry a toast, and which one is correct depends on what is in the glass. Copy the clinking glasses, the clinking beer mugs or the wine glass here, plus ready-made toast strings.

There is no one cheers character
Unicode never encoded a generic toast. Three separate characters do the job, and the right one depends on what people are drinking.
| Character | Official Unicode name | Codepoint | Added in | Right when |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 🥂 | Clinking Glasses | U+1F942 | Unicode 9.0 | Champagne, sparkling wine, a formal toast |
| 🍻 | Clinking Beer Mugs | U+1F37B | Unicode 6.0 | Beer, a pub round, casual congratulations |
| 🍷 | Wine Glass | U+1F377 | Unicode 6.0 | Wine, typed twice to make the clink |
Clinking Glasses 🥂
The closest thing Unicode has to a champagne flute. There is no single-flute character at all, so this pair is what everyone reaches for. Vendors disagree about the shape: some draw two narrow flutes, others draw wider bowls closer to a coupe.
Clinking Beer Mugs 🍻
One codepoint showing two mugs. Pasting it twice reads as four beers, which trips people up constantly. The beer cheers page covers the doubling problem and the group-toast strings.
Wine Glass 🍷
A single glass, drawn with red wine on every major platform. There is no white wine, rose or empty-glass character, so a prosecco toast still comes out red. Type it twice for a clink, or see wine glass emoji.
Toast strings worth copying
- 🥂🥂 two people, formal
- 🍾🥂 the pour and then the toast, in the right order
- 🍻🍻 a round for four, deliberately
- 🍷🍷 dinner
- 🥂✨ the toast plus Sparkles U+2728, the usual congratulations pairing
Whiskey, coffee, sake and the rest are set out drink by drink on cheers emoji combos.
Platform differences that matter
All four major vendors draw the same three characters, but not the same way. 🍻 splashes beer out where the mugs meet on some platforms and simply touches rims on others. 🥂 swings between a narrow flute and a wide bowl. 🍷 is the most consistent of the three. None accepts a skin tone modifier, because none contains a hand.
Caveats
- Screen readers speak the short name, so 🥂🥂🥂 is announced as clinking glasses three times over.
- Account handles and email addresses reject emoji on most platforms. Display names and bios usually accept them.
- Many chat apps enlarge a message that is nothing but one to three emoji, so a bare 🥂 lands bigger than it looks in the composer.
- Pasted into a design tool, the character picks up that tool’s emoji font. It will not match the art on your phone.
What they said instead of cheers
American drinkers of the speakeasy years had a stock of one-line toasts, and they still get typed because they carry the era with them. Copy one and put the glass after it.
- Here’s mud in your eye 🥂
- Here’s how 🍻
- Down the hatch 🥃
- Bottoms up 🍺
Dating a spoken toast to a particular year is guesswork, so treat these as period flavor, not citations. The rest of the glassware sits on the drink emoji hub.
