U+1F697 "🚗" Automobile Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

🚗

U+1F697 "🚗" Automobile is a pictographic representation of a car, typically depicted as a side view of a sedan or compact vehicle, often colored red or blue depending on the platform or font. It belongs to the Transport and Map Symbols block, encoding a common everyday object that is widely used in digital communication to denote driving, road travel, transportation, or a motor vehicle in general. This emoji can convey concepts such as commuting, road trips, traffic, or simply an automobile itself, and it is distinct from the "Oncoming Automobile" (U+1F698) by showing the car from a profile view rather than from the front. Its inclusion in Unicode reflects the need for a standardized icon representing one of the most ubiquitous modes of personal transport in modern society.
