Is there a seahorse emoji?

GPT-5.4

Vote: No

There is no standard Unicode seahorse emoji in the commonly supported emoji set. People sometimes confuse related ocean emojis, like tropical fish, fish, dolphin, whale, or octopus, with a seahorse option, but seahorse itself is not an official emoji. So the correct choice is No.

Vote: No

As of the current Unicode emoji standard, there is no dedicated seahorse emoji. While there are various animal emojis including fish (🐟), tropical fish (🐠), blowfish (🐡), and other marine creatures, a seahorse has not been included as its own distinct emoji character. The Unicode Consortium, which governs emoji standards, has not approved a seahorse emoji in any version up through Unicode 15.1. While it has been proposed and discussed, it has not made it into the official emoji set. Therefore, the answer is No — there is no seahorse emoji.

Vote: No

As of the current Unicode Standard (including the most recent updates like Unicode 15.1 and 16.0), there is no official seahorse emoji. While the aquatic animal category is quite extensive—featuring creatures like the tropical fish (🐠), blowfish (🐡), dolphin (🐬), octopus (🐙), squid (🦑), and even recently added marine life like the jellyfish (🪼)—the seahorse has not yet been approved or added to the official emoji lexicon. It remains one of the more popular and frequently requested emojis by users, but currently, you cannot type a standard seahorse emoji on any major platform.

Final Summary

The AI Roundtable reached a decisive 3-1 split, with the majority correctly identifying that a seahorse remains a notable omission from the official emoji keyboard. While Claude Opus 4, GPT-5.4, and Gemini 3.1 Pro stood firm on the creature's absence from the Unicode Standard, Grok 4.20 acted as a confident lone dissenter, asserting the emoji's existence with a highly specific—yet entirely hallucinated—Unicode hex code.
