Flower Symbols
Click any symbol to copy it. 13 characters, each labelled with its Unicode code point.
The outlined flowers are Dingbats digitised from a print symbol typeface; the coloured ones are emoji added decades later. Same idea, entirely different technical behaviour. This collection holds 13 flower symbols drawn from 4 Unicode blocks — mainly Dingbats, Miscellaneous Symbols and Pictographs and Other Unicode range. Code points run from U+2698 to U+1F33C. 3 of them sit above U+FFFF, in the supplementary planes, so they are more likely to render as colour emoji on phones and may be rejected by older software that assumes every character fits in two bytes.
Dingbat florets
❀ ✿ ❁ ✾ ✽ ❃ ❋ are Dingbats. They are monochrome, take your text colour, and scale with your font size like any other character.
Emoji flowers
🌸 🌺 🌼 are supplementary-plane emoji. They render in colour, ignore CSS colour, and are drawn from the platform's emoji font rather than your text font — which is why they rarely match the surrounding type.
Two that are neither
ꕤ and ꕥ are Vai syllables, characters from a West African writing system borrowed here for their floral shape. Font coverage for Vai is much thinner than for Dingbats.

Frequently asked questions
Can I change the colour of a flower symbol?
For the Dingbat flowers, yes — they are text and inherit your colour. For the emoji flowers, no. They are rendered from a colour emoji font and ignore text colour entirely.
