The cloud symbol and its weather family

☁︎ is simply called "cloud" in Unicode and has been part of the standard since version 1.1. It is a text symbol by default, so it matches your font. Some apps turn it into a colorful ☁️ emoji; the text and emoji switch on this page lets you choose.

The weather clouds came later. ⛅︎ (sun behind cloud) and ⛈︎ (thunder cloud and rain) arrived in Unicode 5.2, and the rest of the set, 🌤︎ 🌥︎ 🌦︎ 🌧︎ 🌨︎ 🌩︎ 🌪︎ 🌫︎, in Unicode 7.0. Together they cover almost any forecast, from partly sunny to fog. For rain, ☂︎ (umbrella) is the plain text option and ☔︎ (umbrella with rain drops) its emoji partner.

What cloud symbols mean

Besides the weather, ☁︎ is the usual sign for cloud storage and online services, and 💭 stands for thinking or daydreaming. 🗯︎ is an angry speech bubble, and 💨 is a puff of air or someone dashing away.

In aesthetic bios, clouds feel soft, calm and dreamy. They combine well with a crescent from the moon symbol page, little stars and pastel hearts. If a storm is more your mood, the lightning bolt symbol page has text bolts like ϟ that fit right next to ☁︎.

How to type the cloud symbol

In Microsoft Word, type 2601 and press Alt + X. On Windows, press Windows + . and search for "cloud"; on a Mac, press Control + Command + Space. On iPhone and Android, the emoji keyboard search finds every cloud.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get a black and white cloud instead of the emoji?

Copy ☁︎ with the text style selected on this page. It is a text character by default, so it shows in your text color unless an app forces the emoji style.

What does the ☁︎ symbol mean?

It means cloudy weather in forecasts, cloud storage on computers, and a calm, dreamy mood in aesthetic bios.

What is the cloud with lightning symbol?

🌩︎ is "cloud with lightning" and ⛈︎ is "thunder cloud and rain". Both are emoji; for a plain text storm, put a text bolt like ϟ next to ☁︎.
