Activities
Activities holds 85 emoji on EmojiSelect: the sports, games, events, awards and arts-and-crafts symbols that describe what people do rather than what they are. The Unicode subcategories group it into events, award medals, sports, games, and arts and crafts — from the birthday balloon to the first-place medal to the painter's palette.
About this category
This category powers celebration vocabulary. 🎉🎊🥳 lead every party message; 🏆🥇 carry the weight of wins; 🎮⚽ describe the hobbies that fill evenings and weekends. Because these emoji are usually about a shared moment — a match, a concert, a birthday — they appear in groups more often than any other category, and our combo pages curate those exact pairings.
On our browse page the 85 entries are ordered by what people copy most — events and medals first, then sports, games and crafts — and each item links to the detail page with its codepoint, meaning and related emoji, so a 🏆 click answers what to pair it with.

Why it matters
A nuance worth knowing: several activity emoji double as event symbols. The 🎈 and 🎂 are not just objects but whole occasions, and using them alone can announce an event as clearly as a sentence. Our pages separate the literal object from the event meaning where both exist. The shelf keeps extending into new hobbies: the yo-yo 🪀 came with Emoji 12.0 (2019), the roller skate 🛼 and the magic wand 🪄 with Emoji 13.0 (2020) — and a full activity page can double as a hobby checklist.
