U+1F3D8 · emoji since 2014
The houses show a little cluster of homes, a neighborhood in one icon. It means community, suburbs, and the place you live.
It marks real estate, hometown pride, and the cozy idea of streets full of people you know.
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 Houses emoji. In everyday chat most people just call it the houses 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.
Or make your own cipher in the translator.
