U+1F68D · emoji since 2014
The oncoming bus faces you, pulling up to the stop. It means public transport, commutes, and catching your ride just in time.
It marks city travel and the relief of seeing your bus finally roll into view.
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 Oncoming Bus emoji. In everyday chat most people just call it the oncoming bus 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.
