Ship Emoji
Meaning
A large ship, used for transporting people or cargo across the ocean. Typically depicted as the bow of the ship facing left, featuring a red or black hull. Some designs include surrounding water, as though at sea.
May be used within online fandoms to represent “shipping,” referring to the support of a romantic relationship between two people or fictional characters.
Samsung previously depicted the ship facing forward, as did an early Facebook design. Previous designs from Apple, Google, and Facebook also placed the ship in water, though their more recent designs do not.
