Houses Emoji

Travel

A cluster of two or more small, simple houses depicted in shades of grey, brown, or orange. The houses are grouped close together, often featuring sloped roofs and windows to suggest a suburban neighborhood or a dense residential block.

Usage Context

Used to talk about home life, neighborhoods, real estate, or local communities. It is a go-to icon for discussing where someone lives or for organizing plans in a specific area. It frequently appears alongside city-themed icons like 🏙 or nature-focused ones like 🏡 to set a scene.

History

Added in Unicode 7.0 in 2014, this emoji was introduced to provide a more specific way to represent residential areas beyond the single-building icons that had existed since the early days of emoji implementation in Japanese mobile carrier sets.
