Unicode spells it Doughnut
The character is U+1F369 and its official Unicode name is Doughnut, with the ough. Almost every search for it spells it “donut”. This matters in one concrete situation: if you open a character map, a font tool or a programming library and search for “donut”, you get nothing. Search for “doughnut” and it appears immediately. The name was fixed in Unicode 6.0 in 2010 and character names are never changed once published, so the spelling will stay out of step with the search box forever.
How it renders
This is one of the most consistent food emoji there is. Apple, Google, Samsung and Microsoft all draw a ring doughnut with pink or strawberry glaze and coloured sprinkles. You can paste it with more confidence than most food characters, because the reader on the other platform sees the same idea. What changes is the drawing style: Apple Color Emoji is shaded and glossy, Google’s Noto Color Emoji is flatter, Windows uses Segoe UI Emoji in the rounder Fluent style since Windows 11, and Galaxy phones use Samsung’s own set. Chat apps such as WhatsApp, Twitter/X, Facebook and Discord override the phone entirely with their own artwork.
If you want a plain ring, take the bagel
There is no unglazed doughnut character. 🥯 Bagel, U+1F96F, added in Unicode 11.0 in 2018, is the closest plain ring. Its artwork is also a good reminder that vendor drawings are not fixed: Apple’s first version shipped in an iOS 12 beta as a bare bagel, drew a lot of complaints, and was redrawn with cream cheese before the public release. Because Bagel is from 2018, a device that has not been updated since will show a box instead.

What people use it for
Bakery and shop listings, break-time and coffee-run messages, police jokes, a zero or a “nothing” in scoreboards and score threads, sprinkle-themed party invites, and repeated runs as filler. It is nearly always paired with ☕ Hot Beverage, which is covered on coffee emoji.
Donut text art and other caveats
- No Unicode character draws a doughnut as line art. “Donut ASCII art” is hand-typed brackets and letters, and it only aligns in a monospaced font.
- Single codepoint, no zero-width joiner, no skin tone. It copies as one unit.
- Screen readers say “doughnut”, using the official name, not the spelling you searched with.
- Most username fields reject it; display names and bios generally accept it.
