World map Emoji

Travel

A stylized, parchment-colored illustration of a world map, typically shown with blue oceans and landmasses depicting global continents. It mimics the look of a vintage navigational chart or a rolled-up explorer's scroll.

Usage Context

Used to discuss international travel, geography, global events, or planning a trip to a new destination. It is frequently sent alongside location-specific icons like ✈️ or 📍 when sharing an itinerary or asking for travel advice.

History

Added to the Unicode standard in 2010 as part of the initial push to include more icons for travelers. It was designed to replace text-based travel descriptions in early digital messaging systems that lacked support for images.
