About these text art
Small pictures made of symbols that fit on one line: music player bars ılıılı and ━━●──, roses, fish, swords, heart lines and dividers to paste into bios and chats.
You get 93 symbols here, sorted into 5 groups: music player (15), one-line pictures (18), heart lines (11), ready dividers (13), building blocks (36).
They span almost the whole history of Unicode: from version 1.1 (1993) to version 5.2 (2009). The newer ones need an up-to-date phone.

Symbols or emoji?
All 36 are text symbols, not emoji: they take the colour, size and font of the text around them, so they fit neatly into names, bios and documents.
Some characters exist in both forms. ▶ (U+25B6) is a text symbol; add the invisible emoji selector U+FE0F and it becomes the emoji ▶️ on most phones.

Questions people ask
How do I copy text art?
Tap a symbol and it is copied. To copy several at once, turn on Collect, tap them in order and press Copy all in the bar at the bottom. Your recent symbols appear above the grid next time.
Why do some text art show as boxes?
A box means your device has no font for that character. The oldest symbols here date from Unicode 1.1 (1993) and work everywhere; the newest come from Unicode 5.2 (2009) and need a recent system update.
How do I type ▶ on a keyboard?
On Windows: 25B6 Alt+X. On a Mac, open the Character Viewer with Ctrl+⌘+Space and search for it. On a phone, copy ▶ from here. All methods for ▶.
Are these emoji?
No. They are text symbols: they follow your text colour and font, unlike emoji, which are colour pictures drawn by the device.
Where can I use them?
Anywhere you can type text: Instagram and TikTok bios, Discord, WhatsApp, Word, Google Docs, emails and most game chats. A few username fields accept only letters and numbers.
