Ferry emoji meaning

The ferry emoji is a graphical representation of a ferry, which is a type of boat or ship that carries passengers and vehicles across a body of water, such as a river, lake, or sea. The ferry is typically depicted as a medium to large size vessel with a flat deck for vehicles and passengers to board and disembark, and typically has a covered cabin area for passengers to sit or stand. The ferry can be shown docked at a port, or sailing on the water, sometimes with a wake or seagulls flying nearby. The color and details may depend on the platform. The ferry emoji is often used to symbolize transportation, travel and commuting, particularly across a body of water, or a short trip or voyage. It can also be used in the context of maritime transportation and service, and can also represent the idea of short-distance travel, to a nearby island or coastal town. It could also be used to convey the idea of connection, bringing people and places together.

The ferry emoji was approved in Unicode 5.2 and added in Emoji 1.0, see related proposal L2/07259
