What does ๐ House mean?
A simple house with a pitched roof, a door and a window. It is the basic emoji for home: heading home, staying in, working from home, moving, or anything about where you live. Real estate posts and housing chats use it constantly, and it fits the old saying that home is where the heart is. Compared with ๐ก, it is plainer and suits everyday โIโm homeโ messages.
๐ House is an emoji from the Travel & Places category (buildings), added in Emoji 0.6 in 2010. People use it in messages about building, country, heart, home, ranch and settle.
