Bitcoin emoji or Bitcoin symbol? ₿ and the other coin symbols as text
There is no Bitcoin emoji in Unicode, which is why your phone keyboard never finds one. What exists is the Bitcoin sign, a plain text character added in Unicode 10.0 in June 2017 after a proposal by Ken Shirriff. Being text, it pastes into a username, a bio, a tweet, a spreadsheet or a price and keeps its shape in every font that has it; very old devices may show a box instead. The closest emoji are Coin, added in Unicode 13.0 in 2020 and used by most people as the crypto coin, and Money Bag.
Other coins borrow existing characters, and this is what people mean by "crypto symbols text": Ξ (Greek capital xi) for Ethereum, Ł for Litecoin, Ð for Dogecoin, (the Austral sign) for Cardano's ADA, (the Mongolian tugrik sign) for Tether, for Solana, ɱ for Monero, and standing in for the X of the XRP logo. None of these were made for the coin, so a reader outside crypto sees a Greek letter or a currency sign; inside crypto chats and wallet apps they read instantly.
The sign stays in the set because stablecoins (USDT, USDC) are priced in dollars and every chart quotes a coin against them. Currency Exchange is the swap or exchange, Bank is the thing crypto likes to say it replaces, ATM covers Bitcoin ATMs, and is a crypto debit card.
Crypto emoji meanings: to the moon, diamond hands, and
Rocket is the one crypto emoji everyone knows: a price going up fast, or the hope that it will. It usually travels with or , because the destination is always "the moon". means a new top, is the community's ironic "soon" (as in "wen moon? soon"), and is both hype and a literal token burn, when a project destroys part of its supply. is the "100x" every meme coin promises; marks a breakout or a blow-up.
Diamond hands means holding through a crash without selling. The pair became famous on r/wallstreetbets during the GameStop squeeze of January 2021 and crypto adopted it at once; is the same idea as "strong hands", and let you spell it in plain text. The opposite is or paper hands, someone who sells at the first dip. Holding itself is "HODL", a typo in a December 2013 Bitcointalk post titled "I AM HODLING" that became the movement's verb, and is the patience it takes.
The market has animals. Ox is the bull (Unicode has no bull emoji, so the ox does the job) and Bear is the bear market. Crab is newer crypto slang for a market that goes sideways for weeks. are the charts, and are green and red candles, and the daily move, and is the candle itself when someone talks about a "big green candle".
Holders are sized like sea life. Whale is a wallet big enough to move the price, and the ranking runs down through shark, dolphin, fish, octopus and crab to shrimp, the small holder with less than one coin; analytics firms such as Glassnode publish Bitcoin holder charts with these very names. means watching a wallet or a chart, and is a price alert.
Keys, chains and mining: the technical side in emoji
"Not your keys, not your coins" is the oldest piece of crypto advice, so and stand for the private key and the wallet it protects, for locked and unlocked funds, and for security in general. and mean cold storage, a wallet kept offline, or funds that have been frozen.
Chains and Link are the blockchain ( is also the Chainlink project), and is a block. Pick and mean mining; is the Lightning Network, Bitcoin's fast-payment layer, and Lightning addresses are often marked with it. are the developers everyone asks about ("the devs are doing something"), is a trading bot, is web3, and is a confirmed transaction.
Meme coins, airdrops and red flags:
Dog is Dogecoin and Shiba Inu, the two coins built on the Shiba Inu "Doge" meme. Frog is Pepe and the meme coins named after him, Gorilla is "apes together strong" (and the ape NFT collections), covers the same ground, Hamster is the hamster who out-traded professionals and the tap-to-earn games, and Unicorn is Uniswap's logo as well as any billion-dollar startup.
Parachute is an airdrop, free tokens dropped into wallets, and announce one. Printer comes from the "money printer go brrr" meme of 2020, Bitcoin's standing argument against central banks. The warnings matter more than the hype: and for a hack or exploit, red flag for a project that looks like a rug pull, for a "clown market" and for being "rekt" or for a coin that died.
Then the dream and the gamble: is "wen Lambo?", is retiring on an island, is Bitcoin as king, and admit what a degen trade really is. is Bitcoin Pizza Day, 22 May, remembering the two pizzas bought for 10,000 BTC in 2010.
How to copy and type crypto emoji and the Bitcoin symbol
Everything on this page is standard Unicode, so it works in Telegram, Discord, WhatsApp, X, iPhone and Android alike; tap a character to copy it. The "crypto emoji packs" for Telegram and the Bitcoin logo that appears after #Bitcoin on X are custom stickers and hashflags, not characters, which is why they cannot be copied into a username or a bio. The text symbols here can.
To type without copying: on a Mac open the Character Viewer with Ctrl + Cmd + Space and search "bitcoin"; on Windows press Win + ., open the Symbols tab and look under currency; in HTML write ₿. Ξ is Ξ in HTML and sits on any Greek keyboard. For the emoji, search your keyboard for "rocket", "gem", "chart" or "whale".

15알아 두면 좋은 점
- The sign is not an emoji and never was: it entered Unicode 10.0 in 2017 as a currency symbol, eight years after Bitcoin's first block, after a proposal written by the engineer and blogger Ken Shirriff.
- "HODL" started as a typo. In December 2013 a Bitcointalk user posted "I AM HODLING" during a price crash, and the misspelling became crypto's word for refusing to sell.
- Bitcoin Pizza Day, 22 May, marks the first known purchase with Bitcoin: on 22 May 2010 Laszlo Hanyecz paid 10,000 BTC for two pizzas, which is why belongs in a Bitcoin chat.
- Unicode has no bull emoji, so the whole crypto world uses Ox for a bull market. The emoji ox is drawn with horns on every platform, which is probably why nobody noticed.
- The Bitcoin logo you see after #Bitcoin on X is a hashflag that Twitter switched on in February 2020. It is an image, not a character, so it cannot be copied; can.
