Not on phone keyboards yet
Net with handle was approved in Unicode 18.0 on 16 September 2026. No phone keyboard offers it yet, so the image above is Google's Noto design rather than your device's own emoji. The copy button still copies the real character, which will show as an empty box until your system adds support.

What Does the ๐ช net with handle Emoji Mean?
Round blue mesh hangs from a long wooden handle, the kind of net used for catching butterflies, scooping fish from a pond or landing a catch from a boat. ๐ช means catching, collecting and capturing, literally or not: a bug hunt, a fishing trip, a rare find in a game, or someone being caught out. Its name is deliberately generic so it covers every hand net.

Usage: Kids' summer outings, pond-dipping trips and anglers landing a fish are the literal cases.

Paired with ๐ซ it recreates the classic naturalist image, and paired with ๐ธ it jokes about scooping up deals.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is ๐ช a fishing net or a butterfly net?
Either. The official name is simply net with handle, which covers butterfly nets, pond nets and anglers' landing nets. Google's design looks like a butterfly or aquarium net, round and fine-meshed on a wooden pole.
What can ๐ช mean outside of fishing?
Catching something in general, such as a bargain, a rare collectible, a typo before it went out, or a person caught in a lie. It also works for net puns about networking or a safety net.
Can I use ๐ช with ๐ซ?
You can paste both, and the pair makes an obvious picture. Both were approved on 16 September 2026, though, so until phones add fonts for Emoji 18.0 most people will see two empty boxes.
