Unicode Version 17.0
🚈
U+1F688 "🚈" Light Rail is a pictographic symbol representing a light rail transit vehicle, which is typically a type of electric urban railway that operates on dedicated tracks, often sharing road space with other traffic in city environments. Part of the Transport and Map Symbols block, this character is used in digital communication to denote a light rail line, station, or the concept of light rail transit itself, commonly appearing in maps, signage, or transportation apps to convey the idea of rapid, efficient city travel. Unlike a standard train icon, the light rail symbol often features a distinct design, such as a shorter, segmented vehicle profile, to differentiate it from heavier rail or subway systems.
