What it is and where it’s used: Minibus 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: MINIBUS depicts the MINIBUS emoji. In messages and interfaces, it represents a bus or short‑haul transport and signals travel or public transit needs. Use it when planning a trip, asking about routes, or sharing a quick update about commuting. It can clarify that you are discussing buses, schedules, or transport options in a chat, on a map app, or in documentation. Be mindful that appearance varies across platforms, apps, and fonts, so color, style, and detail may differ. For accessibility, ensure surrounding text conveys the intended meaning and provide text alternatives if needed. Cross‑platform appearance varies; ensure surrounding text conveys the intended meaning for accessibility.
Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+1F690 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.
