Which Unicode block spans U+1FA70 to U+1FAFF?

The Unicode block spanning U+1FA70 to U+1FAFF is Symbols and Pictographs Extended-A.

Symbols and Pictographs Extended-A is a Unicode block devoted to emoji and other pictographic characters. It extends the earlier Symbols and Pictographs collection, whose range is U+1F900–U+1F9FF. The Extended-A block includes newer additions covering activities, objects, body parts, people, and other visual concepts introduced as Unicode expanded its emoji repertoire.

Its range begins at U+1FA70 and ends at U+1FAFF, although the block’s assigned characters occupy only portions of that interval. The name’s “Extended-A” label signals that it is an extension of an existing block, not a separate encoding system or an emoji keyboard category.

A common confusion is with Supplemental Symbols and Pictographs, which spans U+1F900–U+1F9FF and predates Extended-A. Another is treating every code point in the range as assigned; Unicode blocks reserve ranges, and unassigned positions can remain available for future standardization.
