Transport and Map Symbols is a Unicode block containing transportation and map icons, largely for compatibility with Japanese Telephone carriers' emoji implementations of Shift JIS and to encode characters in the Wingdings and Wingdings 2 character sets.

The block contains 87 emoji: U+1F680–U+1F6C5, U+1F6CB–U+1F6D0, U+1F6E0–U+1F6E5, U+1F6E9, U+1F6EB–U+1F6EC, U+1F6F0 and U+1F6F3.[2][3]
