No, there is no official, Unicode-approved Eiffel Tower emoji.
Many people mistakenly believe there is an Eiffel Tower emoji, likely due to a collective memory issue. This confusion is often attributed to the 🗼 (Tokyo Tower) emoji, which resembles the Eiffel Tower and is frequently used in its place.
Here's a breakdown:
- The Confusion: The Tokyo Tower emoji (🗼) often stands in for the Eiffel Tower in digital communications. This substitution can lead people to think an actual Eiffel Tower emoji exists.
- Collective Memory Glitch: The feeling that there used to be an Eiffel Tower emoji is a common sentiment, even though one has never been officially part of the Unicode standard.
- Unicode Standard: Emojis are standardized by the Unicode Consortium. If an emoji isn't in their official list, it's not universally supported.
Therefore, while you might see images or stickers of the Eiffel Tower in various apps, there isn't a universally recognized Eiffel Tower emoji.
