🚢Ship Emoji
The ship emoji 🚢 carries the codepoint U+1F6A2 and has been in the standard since Unicode 6.0 (2010). It belongs to Travel & Places → Water Transportation.
What 🚢 ship means
Boats, mostly aspirational. ⛵️ and 🛥️ appear in holiday photos and marina posts; 🚢 and 🛳️ mark a cruise or a shipping joke; ⚓️ carries a nautical-tattoo aesthetic and, in older internet writing, an anchor link. The set is small and largely original — 🛟 ring buoy is the outlier, added in Emoji 14.0.
Unicode tags this one boat, passenger and travel and files it under Travel & Places → Water Transportation.
