U+1F3A6 · emoji since 2010
The cinema symbol shows a movie projecting onto a screen. It means the movies, film nights, and a trip to the theater.
It marks blockbusters and date nights, the icon for popcorn, dim lights, and the big screen.
In texting, 🎦 does not carry a widely used hidden or slang meaning, so you can usually take it at face value. People send it just as it looks, to add a little visual touch or set the mood of a message. Only a handful of emoji have a separate texting code, and 🎦 is not really one of them.
Its official Unicode name is the Cinema emoji. In everyday chat most people just call it the cinema emoji or describe what it shows. Copy and paste it from the button at the top of this page.
The 🎦 leads off a short phrase, and the rest of the words are written in cipher, every letter disguised as another emoji. Tap decipher to reveal the whole line.
