Code Points: U+2668


♨ Emoji Meaning

The ♨ emoji, officially called "Hot Springs," depicts a steaming bowl of water, often with rising steam or bubbles. It has several popular meanings:

  • Literal hot springs: Its most basic meaning refers to natural hot springs, also known as onsen (温泉) in Japanese. This can represent visiting a spa, enjoying a relaxing bath, or being in a location known for geothermal activity.
  • Relaxation and wellness: More broadly, the emoji can symbolize relaxation, warmth, and self-care. It can express enjoyment of a bath, sauna, or any activity that promotes a sense of calm.
  • Something "hot" or trending: In some contexts, the hot springs emoji can indicate something is popular, trendy, or "hot" in a figurative sense, similar to 🔥 (fire emoji). This usage is less common than the relaxation-related meanings.
  • Anger or frustration (less common): While less frequent, the steaming aspect can sometimes be used to express anger, frustration, or feeling "hot-headed." This is usually clear from the surrounding context.
  • Locations with hot springs: The emoji can be used to mark locations known for hot springs or onsen, especially on maps or in travel guides.
