U+1F698 "🚘" Oncoming Automobile Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

🚘

U+1F698 "🚘" Oncoming Automobile is a graphical symbol representing the front view of a car driving directly toward the viewer, typically shown as a sedan or compact vehicle with visible headlights and a grill. It belongs to the Transport and Map Symbols block in the Unicode standard, which was introduced to support emoji and pictographic communication across digital platforms. This particular emoji is often used in contexts related to traffic, driving directions, or travel, and it conveys the idea of an approaching vehicle, whether in a literal sense on the road or metaphorically to indicate forward movement or an imminent arrival. Its design varies slightly among different operating systems and applications, but it consistently maintains the core visual of a car facing forward, making it distinct from the side view of a car emoji.
