A traditional Japanese Castle (城, shiro or jō), usually made from stone and wood.

Japanese Castle

A <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moai">moai</a>, one of the famed, giant stone statues of human figures&nbsp;on Easter Island. Depicted as a gray&nbsp;stone carving of a stylized human head with a prominent brow and nose, most often facing left.

Sometimes used for various idiosyncratic purposes, such as conveying a stoic, deadpan, or silly expression.

Its official Unicode name of Moyai&nbsp;and inclusion in early Japanese emoji sets, such as from au by KDDI, suggest&nbsp;the emoji may represent the <a href="http://www.tripadvisor.com.au/Attraction_Review-g1066456-d1953259-Reviews-Moyai_Statue-Shibuya_Tokyo_Tokyo_Prefecture_Kanto.html">Moyai Statue</a> near Shibuya Station in Tokyo, Japan; previous designs from <a href="/google/android-4.3/moai/">Google</a> and <a href="/microsoft/windows-8.0/moai/">Microsoft</a>&nbsp;resemble the Tokyo statue. Other Tokyo landmarks are represented in&nbsp;<a href="/tokyo-tower/">🗼&nbsp;Tokyo Tower</a> and, formerly, <a href="/shibuya/">Shibuya 109</a>.

Moyai

A castle, in a style&nbsp;that can be found in <a href="/flag-france/" title="🇫🇷 Flag for France">France</a>&nbsp;and other parts of <a href="/flag-european-union/" title="🇪🇺 Flag for European Union">Europe</a>.

European Castle

A shrine used for the Japanese Shinto religion. This emoji generally displays the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torii">torii</a>, which is the gate to the Shinto Shrine. The torii is generally a&nbsp;red colored structure, with a curved roof section above two posts.

This icon is used on maps in Japan to represent the location of a Shinto Shrine, similar to how the <a href="/hot-springs/" title="♨️ Hot Springs">hot springs emoji</a> is the icon used on Japanese maps to show the location of an onsen.

Shinto Shrine

Shows a map of the country of Japan, which is the only country to have its own emoji map. Other countries can be found on the <a href="/globe-showing-americas/" title="🌎 Earth Globe Americas">various globe emojis</a>, or the <a href="/world-map/" title="🗺 World Map">world map emoji</a>.

Silhouette of Japan

Two swords with steel blades in an X shape, as crossed for combat between two knights or warriors. Generally depicted as straight, double-edged blades with brown or black, cross-shaped hilts, points directed up.&nbsp;Commonly used as a symbol for battle, fighting, or a contest, as in sports.

Sometimes shown with golden handles. Several vendors implement the same design as for their <a href="/dagger/">🗡️&nbsp;Dagger</a>.&nbsp;Samsung&rsquo;s design <a href="/samsung/touchwiz-7.1/crossed-swords/">previously featured</a> stylized, white swords on a green square, as a sign or icon of war.

May be paired with (or defended by) <a href="/shield/">🛡️&nbsp;Shield</a>. Not to be confused with <a href="/hammer-and-pick/">⚒️&nbsp;Hammer and Pick</a> or <a href="/hammer-and-wrench/">🛠️&nbsp;Hammer and Wrench</a>.

Crossed Swords

The <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tokyo_Tower">Tokyo Tower</a> is the second-tallest building in Japan, located in&nbsp;Minato, Tokyo.

Built in 1957, the design of the Tokyo Tower &nbsp;was inspired by the Eiffel Tower in Paris, <a href="/flag-france/" title="🇫🇷 Flag For France">France</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;may be confused for it due to the small size of the emoji. A previous Samsung design also added to this confusion as it was colored grey instead of red and white.

Tokyo Tower

A tall, folded, paper carton, usually white, as used for takeout/takeaway&nbsp;food at Western Chinese restaurants. Most platforms depict&nbsp;<a href="/chopsticks/" title="🥢 Chopsticks">chopsticks&nbsp;</a>inside its open lid, labeled with a red, multi-tiered, traditional Chinese building.&nbsp;Also called an&nbsp;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oyster_pail">oyster pail</a>.

Takeout Box

A shield, as blocks swords in close combat. Color and style varies across platforms, but generally depicted in a <a href="/kite/">kite</a> shape with a metal border and simple pattern.

Commonly used to represent various content concerning battle, defense, security, and protection.

Apple and Microsoft&rsquo;s designs feature a red and white sawtooth pattern, Facebook and WhatsApp&rsquo;s blue and white checkers.

May be paired with (or fending off) <a href="/crossed-swords/">⚔️&nbsp;Crossed Swords</a> or <a href="/dagger/">🗡️&nbsp;Dagger</a>.&nbsp;Not to be confused with <a href="/japanese-symbol-for-beginner/">🔰&nbsp;Japanese Symbol for Beginner</a>.

Shield

Ornamental Japanese Emperor and Empress dolls, as displayed in celebration of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hinamatsuri">Hinamatsuri</a> on March 3 in Japan (Girls&rsquo; or Dolls&rsquo; Day).

<a href="http://mandel59.hateblo.jp/entry/2016/03/04/041437">Generally depicted</a> as a Japanese Emperor (left, in blue, holding a scepter) and Empress (right, in red, holding a fan) in ceremonial court dress and seated on a tatami.

When not applied to Hinamatsuri, sometimes used to represent Japan, dolls, a pair of people (as a couple or two friends), and for various idiosyncratic purposes.

Japanese Dolls

A Tanabata tree, a type of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wish_tree">wish tree</a> on which people hang wishes written on paper and other decorations during <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tanabata">Tanabata</a>, a Japanese festival celebrating two heavenly lovers. Depicted as one or two stalks of green bamboo, on which hangs one or more slips of paper, generally red.

Often used to represent various plants or as a green accent color.

Some characters in <a href="/unicode-5.2/">prior</a>&nbsp;versions of Unicode were retroactively updated to provide&nbsp;an emoji presentation. This release was the first to introduce new characters for the sole purpose of compatability with emojis being used in Japan.

Twitter (renamed X in July 2023) supports all standard emojis, and these can be inserted via&nbsp;emoji keyboard or picker. Emojis can also&nbsp;be copied&nbsp;and pasted by choosing from the&nbsp;emojis on this page.

Twemoji&nbsp;was initially created in 2014 as an <a href="http://github.com/twitter/twemoji">open source emoji project</a>, created and owned by Twitter. However, following the privatization of Twitter in April 2022, the project appears to have been discontinued by X.

In February 2023 the Twemoji set ceased to be used by Twitter / X on mobile devices, replaced by the device&#39;s native emoji designs. After January 2024&nbsp; the dedicated&nbsp;<a href="https://twemoji.twitter.com/">Twemoji website</a> was also shut down (an archived version of the site from January 2024 <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20240129051934/https://twemoji.twitter.com/">can be seen here</a>).

Emojis from Twemoji are found on&nbsp;the Twitter / X website (Twtter.com / X.com),&nbsp;TweetDeck,&nbsp;Twitter for Android,&nbsp;<a href="/discord/">Discord</a>, <a href="/roblox/">Roblox</a>, and other apps.&nbsp;The Twitter / X app for iOS has always used&nbsp;the native emojis provided by Apple.

Hashmojis&nbsp;(previously known as&nbsp;hashflags, and later&nbsp;Custom Twitter emojis)&nbsp;are enabled for some&nbsp;events or promotions. These display on Twitter / X for a limited time, after specific hashtags.

While most emojis can be used in Twitter&nbsp;names, any emoji that resembles the verified checkmark is not permitted. See the list of <a href="https://blog.emojipedia.org/why-you-cant-use-these-emojis-in-your-twitter-name/">emojis not permitted in Twitter / X names or bios</a>.

Since 2021&nbsp;glossy Twemoji Stickers began showing in <a href="https://blog.emojipedia.org/new-glossy-twemoji-designs-appear-in-fleets/">select locations across Twitter</a>, but as of early 2022 these glossy designs have yet to be used within the Twemoji emoji set. As of October 2022, these glossy sticker designs have been available for use within the Twitter mobile image editor and are featured within the platform&#39;s Twitter Status feature.
