= petrol station, gas station ⁓ 26FD FE0E text style ⁓ 26FD FE0F emoji style
Information
The fuel pump emoji is the universal sign for pit stops, road trips, and that moment your dashboard politely screams E. On Apple devices it’s a shiny, front-facing red gas pump with a black hose looping to the right, a silver nozzle, and a neat little white droplet icon on the body—plus a tiny display window that looks like it’s tallying dollars faster than your heart rate on a hill. It’s got that glossy, slightly 3D, almost toy-like Apple polish, instantly recognizable even at a glance. Basically, it’s the emoji equivalent of pulling off at Exit 27 for snacks, a bathroom, and questionable coffee.

Emoji History The emoji code/ image log of changes.
This emoji was part of the proprietary / non-standardized emoji set first introduced by Japanese carriers like Softbank. These emojis became part of the Apple iPhone starting in iOS 2.2 as an unlockable feature on handsets sold in English speaking countries.
In iOS 5 / OSX 10.7, the underlying code that the Apple OS generates for this emoji was changed.
The code generated for this emoji was changed slightly in iOS 7 / OSX 10.9 (a variation selector was added) advising the OS to display character emoji style instead of black and white text when available. We don't mind Apple, thank you! We just love our emojis! [Sources 11438-emoji-var.pdf 13.7 Variation Selectors (unicode.org)]
