Sunrise Emoji

Travel

A golden sun rising or setting over a dark blue landscape of ocean waves or low hills. The scene captures the transition between night and day with a warm, glowing horizon line.

Usage Context

This emoji is the go-to choice for signaling the start of a new day, wishing someone a good morning, or showing off a scenic travel photo. While it technically depicts a sunrise, people frequently use it to represent a sunset or a relaxing end to a beach day, often alongside the 🏖️ or ☀️ emojis.

History

Added to the Unicode standard in 2010 as part of Emoji 1.0, this icon was heavily influenced by early mobile phone displays that used simple, iconic landscapes to quickly convey weather conditions or time-of-day updates in text messaging.
