Type :umbrella: · Tech & keys
What ☂ is for
An open umbrella, the text mark for rain. With the sun and cloud it completes a small weather vocabulary that predates every weather app.
How to type ☂
The shortcuts below are the built-in routes. With
Emoji Anywhere
installed you can skip all of them and type
:umbrella: in any text field instead, which
is the same on every platform.
macOS
No direct shortcut. Use Edit → Emoji & Symbols, or switch to the Unicode Hex Input
source and type 2602
with Option held.
Windows
No Alt code. In Word, type 2602 then press Alt +
X. Elsewhere use the emoji panel with Win + Period, or Character Map.
