🧭 Compass Emoji

The north, east, south, and west directions are represented by the compass emoji, but their location on the compass does not indicate their path in relation to your current location. When someone is trying to get somewhere new and is not provided the best directions, it can be used to either demonstrate or request recommendations. Depending on the tone, it might be a great way to ask for guidance or just a frustrating habit of not knowing where you're going. Similar to how the compass emoji can be used for instructions, the right arrow, left arrow, up arrow, and down arrow emojis can also be used to request directions.

The compass emoji was introduced in 2018 and released as part of the Unicode 11.0 standard. This emoji can be found under the travel and places category. Because the compass emoji has been around for quite some time, it should display correctly in the majority of operating systems.
