Meaning

The Harp emoji shows a tall triangular stringed instrument with a curved neck, a carved wooden frame and many parallel vertical strings.

It means the harp and, more broadly, gentle, elegant or heavenly music. People use it for classical concerts, orchestras, weddings, music lessons, fantasy and angel imagery, and relaxing playlists. The harp is also a national emblem of Ireland, so it can appear around St. Patrick's Day and in posts about Irish and Celtic traditions.

Another orchestral string instrument is 🎻 Violin, and 🎼 Musical Score adds sheet music. Paired with 🏛️ Classical Building, it suggests ancient Greek lyres and classical myths. It was added in Emoji 16.0 in 2024.
