Meaning and uses

An open umbrella, the plain text symbol for rain. It also appears on packaging labels to mean keep dry.

Unicode details

☂ is the Unicode character named UMBRELLA, code point U+2602, in the Miscellaneous Symbols block. It was added in Unicode 1.1 in 1993, and Unicode classes it as a symbol (general category So).

It can also appear as an emoji, listed under the name “umbrella”. Plain text is its default, but some apps draw it in colour anyway. Adding the invisible variation selector U+FE0F after it asks for the emoji style, and U+FE0E asks for plain text.
