U+1F6C2 · emoji since 2015
The passport control sign marks the checkpoint where your passport is checked. It means borders, travel, and crossing into a country.
It headlines airports and international trips, the line you join to get your stamp and head through.
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 Passport Control emoji. In everyday chat most people just call it the passport control 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.
