🏭️Factory Emoji

🏭️ is the factory emoji, U+1F3ED U+FE0F, one of 27 in the Buildings set. It arrived with Unicode 6.0 (2010) and is commonly used for building.

What 🏭️ factory means

Buildings mark a place in a story: 🏠 for home, 🏥 for a hospital visit, 🏫 for school runs, 🏦 for money talk. The set is visibly inherited from Japanese carrier emoji — Unicode carries both 🏣 Japanese post office and 🏤 post office as separate characters, and 🏩 love hotel exists because the source sets had one.

Unicode tags this one building and files it under Travel & Places → Buildings.

Copy variants

factory carries a variation selector (U+FE0F) that forces colour rendering. Drop it and the same character renders as monochrome text.
