Meaning & usage
Church (⛪) conveys an emotion, object or visual idea as an emoji.
Use it in messages and captions; emoji artwork and interpretation differ between platforms.
U+26EA identifies this exact church form; copying the character preserves its Unicode identity, while its appearance depends on the font or emoji renderer.
church can act as a visual label for its named subject in a caption or list. It is not a standardized replacement for a written label in technical or safety information. church occupies one Unicode code point. A similar-looking letter, punctuation mark or emoji is not necessarily interchangeable with ⛪ in search, filenames or text processing.
How to type church
- Windows
- Use Win + . for the emoji and symbol panel, or Character Map for supported fonts. In Microsoft Word, enter each hexadecimal code (26EA) and press Alt + X. There is no universal decimal Alt code for this character; legacy Alt codes depend on the code page.
- Mac
- Open Character Viewer with Control + Command + Space and search for church. With the Unicode Hex Input keyboard enabled, hold Option and enter the UTF-16 units shown above. Standard Option shortcuts do not cover every Unicode symbol.
- Linux
- In compatible GTK applications, press Ctrl + Shift + U, enter 26EA, then Enter. Enter each code point separately for sequences. Other desktops or apps may require their character picker.
- iPhone & Android
- Look for church in your emoji keyboard if available, or copy it here and paste. Save frequently used symbols as a text replacement or keyboard shortcut; availability varies by keyboard.
