Ladder Emoji

Objects

A tall, portable ladder consisting of two side rails connected by a series of horizontal rungs. It is depicted as a standard wood or metal frame designed for reaching heights.

Usage Context

Used to talk about home improvement projects, climbing, or the literal act of working on a roof or painting. It is frequently sent as a metaphor for climbing the corporate ladder or achieving professional growth, often paired with the building or construction emojis.

History

Added to the Unicode standard in 2020 as part of Emoji 13.0, the ladder was requested to fill a gap in the tool category, allowing users to more easily describe manual labor, trade work, and everyday repair tasks that were previously difficult to express with existing icons.
