The coffee cup is officially called Hot Beverage
☕ is Hot Beverage, U+2615. Unicode never named it coffee. It arrived in Unicode 4.0 in 2003, years before the emoji sets people think of as the start of all this, and vendors settled on drawing it as coffee because that is what most people use it for.
Two practical consequences. First, it lives in the basic plane, below U+FFFF, so it survives username fields, filenames and old text systems that reject the newer emoji further down this page. Second, it renders as a picture by default on modern platforms, so you do not need to append a variation selector to force the colour version.
What that picture shows is up to the platform. Some draw a white cup on a saucer with steam, some a plain mug, some a darker roast in the cup. Apple, Google, Samsung and Microsoft each ship their own and change it between OS releases, so if the exact cup matters, check it in the app you are posting to rather than here.
Iced coffee, beans and pots: what does not exist
- No iced coffee character. 🥤 Cup With Straw, U+1F964, is the one everyone uses. It is a paper cup with a straw, drawn as soda by some vendors and as an iced drink by others, which is why an iced coffee sometimes lands as a cola.
- No coffee bean character. There is no bean in this set at all.
- No coffee pot. 🫖 Teapot, U+1FAD6, is a teapot, added in Unicode 14.0 in 2021. It is the nearest thing, and it is still a teapot.
- No Starbucks emoji. The siren is a registered trademark and a logo, not a character; nothing can paste it as text. Brand marks on packaging work the same way — see food brand symbols.

One text symbol, with a warning
⛾ Cup On Black Square, U+26FE, is a genuine Unicode character rather than an emoji: a cup on a black square, from a set of broadcast symbols. It is included because “coffee symbol copy and paste” often means a text symbol rather than a picture. Be careful with it. Many fonts do not have a glyph for it, so on a lot of devices it shows as an empty rectangle. ☕ is the safer choice in almost every case.
Honest caveats
- 🧋, 🫖 and 🫗 came in Unicode 13.0 and 14.0. They are new enough to arrive as blank boxes on phones that stopped updating.
- Everything except ☕ and ⛾ sits above U+FFFF and gets rejected by strict username fields.
- A screen reader will say “Hot Beverage”, not “coffee”. If the distinction matters in your text, write the word as well.
