U+26F1 · emoji since 2014
The beach umbrella planted in the sand means vacation, sunshine, and lazy days by the water. It marks holidays and seaside relaxation.
It is the icon for shade, cocktails, and the simple bliss of doing nothing under a big striped umbrella.
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 Umbrella on Ground emoji. In everyday chat most people just call it the umbrella on ground 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.
