The face of a unicorn, a mythical creature depicted as a white horse with a single, long horn on its forehead. Generally shown as a white horse head facing left, with a pink or purple mane and a yellow or rainbow-colored horn.

In addition to representing the mythical unicorn, this emoji may convey whimsy, fantasy, uniqueness, or specialness, as well as peace and love. It is often used in content related to the LGBTQ community, partly due to its rainbow coloring on many platforms, and is also used in reference to “unicorn” startups. It may additionally be used as a rainbow or holographic accent, and can carry NSFW connotations in some contexts.

Vendors typically implement this emoji with a design similar to 🐴 Horse Face, distinguished by its colorful mane and horn.

WhatsApp’s unicorn is facing right. Google’s unicorn previously had a brown mane, Samsung’s a pink mane. Twitter’s unicorn was previously purple-colored with a blue mane.

Available as an Apple Animoji.

Unicorn was approved as part of Unicode 8.0 in 2015 under the name "Unicorn Face" and added to Emoji 1.0 in 2015.
