Meaning & usage
📍 is the digital map pin: the marker Google Maps made universal for 'this exact spot'. In text it flags locations and addresses (meet me 📍 Central Park), travel posts and shop listings. Its straight-pin sibling 📌 (in the variants) is for pinning notes and posts rather than places.
Examples in use
- Find us 📍 12 High Street
- Next stop 📍 Kyoto

Frequently asked questions
How do I copy the location pin?
Click the big 📍 at the top of this page to copy it, then paste it into your post, listing or document.
What is the difference between 📍 and 📌?
📍 is the round-headed map pin for places. 📌 is the classic pushpin for pinning and highlighting posts and notes.
Why does 📍 sometimes show as a box or question mark?
The box (called tofu) means the device or font viewing it has no drawing for U+1F4CD (Round Pushpin). The character itself is fine — try a different font or a newer device, or use one of the variants on this page.
Is the Location Pin free to use?
Yes. 📍 is a standard Unicode text character published in the Unicode Character Database. You may use it in personal and commercial documents, designs and products without permission or payment.
