🌦️ means a sunshower — sun plus rain, or showers in the forecast. Use it for mixed weather and indecisive skies; the mood metaphor only lands with extra words.

What 🌦️ means

🌦️ is the sun behind rain cloud emoji, filed under Travel & Places in the sky & weather subgroup of the Unicode emoji index.

It was added in Emoji 0.7 (2014) and the underlying characters entered Unicode in version 7.0 (2014).

How it is encoded

🌦️ is a sequence of 2 code points (U+1F326 U+FE0F), joined so that they render as one glyph. Software that counts characters will report 2, not 1 — the usual source of broken emoji handling.

It is RGI (recommended for general interchange), so every major platform ships artwork for it.

Worth knowing

  • 🌦️ is not one character. It is 2 of them glued together, which is why deleting it sometimes takes two presses of backspace and why it breaks character counters.

Every platform draws its own artwork for the same code point. The character you send is identical; Apple, Google, Samsung and WhatsApp each render it in their own style.
