Steam Locomotive 🚂
🚂 (U+1F682) is a standard Unicode character that you can copy and paste anywhere text is accepted. This page provides a concise reference with safe tips, internal links, and practical guidance so you can use it reliably across apps and platforms.
What it is and where it’s used: Steam Locomotive is part of the Symbols family (block: Transport and Map Symbols). If you need styled or decorative alternatives, try our Fancy Text tool to generate compatible text that works in most modern interfaces.
History & usage: The STEAM LOCOMOTIVE emoji depicts the STEAM LOCOMOTIVE. In messages it can symbolize trains, travel, or rail work, helping convey transportation ideas quickly. It also fits UI use in travel-planning apps and logistics dashboards, where it can mark train schedules, route options, or a railway section header. In educational or historical content, it can refer to early rail travel or the concept of steam power. The meaning depends on context, so keep surrounding text clear to avoid ambiguity. Be mindful that appearance varies across platforms, apps, and fonts, and some systems show a monochrome fallback. For accessibility, provide text that explains the intended meaning, and ensure that the emoji enhances rather than obscures content across devices and assistive technologies.
Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+1F682 in many development tools or editors. Some operating systems provide a character viewer or input palette that lets you search by name or code and insert the glyph into documents.
Display and fallback: if you see an empty box (tofu) or a placeholder rectangle, the active font might not include this codepoint. Switching to a font with broader Unicode coverage or using a fallback font usually fixes the issue. On the web, ensure the page’s font stack includes a general‑purpose fallback.

Compatibility & troubleshooting

Web pages: ensure your CSS font stack includes a general fallback; avoid relying on images for common symbols to preserve accessibility and copyability.
