Meaning & usage
Cloud (☁️) conveys an emotion, object or visual idea as an emoji.
Use it in messages and captions; emoji artwork and interpretation differ between platforms.
U+2601 U+FE0F identifies this exact cloud form; copying the character preserves its Unicode identity, while its appearance depends on the font or emoji renderer.
cloud 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. cloud is a sequence of 2 Unicode code points, not a single character. Keep every part when copying it: removing a joiner, selector or component can change the result.
How to type cloud
- Windows
- Use Win + . for the emoji and symbol panel, or Character Map for supported fonts. In Microsoft Word, enter each hexadecimal code (2601 + FE0F) 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 cloud. 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 2601 + FE0F, then Enter. Enter each code point separately for sequences. Other desktops or apps may require their character picker.
- iPhone & Android
- Look for cloud 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.
