Harp Emoji
is the harp emoji, U+1FA89, one of 13 in the Musical Instruments set. It arrived with Emoji 16.0 (2024) and is commonly used for cupid, instrument and love.
What harp means
Players reach for these to label what they practise, what a band is missing and what a track sounds like, with 🎸 standing in for rock generally and 🎹 for anyone who makes beats. The family has widened well beyond Western orchestral instruments over time: maracas 🪇 and flute 🪈 were both added in Emoji 15.0 in 2023.
Unicode tags this one cupid, instrument and love and files it under Objects → Musical Instruments.
