If you've searched for the seahorse emoji, you've run into one of the internet's favorite false memories: there is no seahorse emoji, and there never has been. Unicode ships a whole aquarium — 🐠 tropical fish, 🐡 blowfish, 🦑 squid, 🐙 octopus, 🐳 whale — but a seahorse has never made the cut, not even in the latest emoji releases. People swear they remember one anyway, usually because they're picturing the 🐴 horse emoji, or simply assuming that every animal must have a glyph. This page settles the question, then rounds up the closest real sea-creature and ocean emoji you can copy right now — plus a build-your-own seahorse combo for when nothing else will do.
