Emoji 5.0

The Unicode standard lists Mermaid as a fantasy or fictional figure within the people and body group. Its 8 CLDR annotation keywords include creature, fairytale, folklore, and merwoman, reflecting how it tends to get used and searched for. Its shortcode is :mermaid:, the same in CLDR, GitHub, and Slack. Version 5.0 of the Unicode Emoji specification introduced it.

Skin tones

This character takes the five skin-tone modifiers — set one in the menu and every copy picks it up. Each form is its own sequence with its own codepoints and its own page.

Across artwork sets

5/5

Five open-licence sets, bundled with this site and served from this origin — not fetched from anyone and not the drawings on your own device. Each one is credited on Licenses, which is a condition of using them.

Rendered by your fonts

The pictures above are this site's own bundled artwork; these are your device's. Each cell below asks your browser for one emoji font by name, so you will see a real difference only for the fonts installed on this device — for the rest your browser falls back to the drawing it already uses. This is what Mermaid will look like wherever you paste it. If a cell shows an empty box, this device's emoji font has no glyph for it yet; that is the font, not the character.
