What is the official Unicode name for the emoji at code point U+1F984?

The emoji at Unicode code point U+1F984 has the official name Unicorn Face.

Unicode assigns every encoded emoji a standardized character name, while users and platforms may use shorter descriptions or different artwork. U+1F984 represents the familiar unicorn head, usually shown with a horn and a colorful mane. Its Unicode name describes the face rather than naming a broader mythical creature category.

The unicorn emoji is often used for fantasy, magic, rarity, imagination, and LGBTQ+ or colorful aesthetic themes. Those associations are cultural uses, not part of the character’s formal Unicode definition. The same code point can appear in different styles on Apple, Google, Microsoft, Samsung, and other systems.

A common mix-up is treating the platform’s image as the standard. Unicode defines the character and its name, but it does not require every vendor to draw the unicorn identically. The hexadecimal code point is the precise identifier shared across compatible systems.
