Flat symbol copy paste: the flat shoe emoji
The flat shoe emoji 🥿 is the emoji to copy when you need a visual for a flat, low-heeled shoe. Its official Unicode name is “flat shoe”, and it shows a single ballet-style flat with a thin sole and a closed toe.
If you are looking for the musical flat sign (♭), that is a text symbol, not an emoji. You can grab it from our text symbols page, which lists characters like ♭, ♯, and other music marks.
What the flat shoe emoji means
In everyday messages, 🥿 stands for the shoe itself: a women’s flat, often a ballet pump or a simple slip-on. It can signal comfort, practicality, and a dressed-down or easy-going style.
- Choosing comfort over heels: “Flats over heels any day 🥿”
- Describing an outfit: “Linen shirt, jeans and flats for the market 🥿”
- Talking about work shoes: “Need new black flats for the office 🥿”
- Flat-soled shoes for walking long distances
The shoe is drawn as a single slip-on with a flat sole and a closed toe, making it easy to recognise.

Flat sign vs flat shoe emoji
The flat shoe emoji is not the same as the flat sign ♭ used in music notation. The flat sign lowers a note by a semitone, and it is a text symbol rather than an emoji. If you are editing sheet music or writing about music theory, use the character ♭, which you can copy from our text symbols page.
The flat shoe emoji is best reserved for shoes and style. For music notation, copy the flat sign ♭ instead.
