🛩️Small Airplane Emoji
🛩️ is the small airplane emoji, U+1F6E9 U+FE0F, one of 13 in the Air Transportation set. It arrived with Unicode 7.0 (2014) and is commonly used for aeroplane, airplane and plane.
What 🛩️ small airplane means
Flight and everything above it. ✈️ marks travel plans, and 🛫 and 🛬 exist specifically to say departing and landing. 🚀 has drifted the furthest of any emoji here: in software it means a release shipped, and in trading talk it means a price is climbing. 🛸 flying saucer was added in Emoji 5.0.
Unicode tags this one aeroplane, airplane and plane and files it under Travel & Places → Air Transportation.
