Okay, so the other day, I was trying to find some cool emojis for a post about Tarzan. You know, just to spice things up a bit. I thought, “Hey, this should be easy, right?” Wrong! It turned out to be a little more of a jungle adventure than I expected.
First, I did what anyone would do β I started googling “Tarzan emoji.” I figured there had to be some dedicated emojis for the King of the Jungle. I mean, there’s an emoji for practically everything these days, from a taco to a unicorn. But guess what? No Tarzan. No vine-swinging, chest-beating emoji. Nothing.
Then, I stumbled upon a few websites that were all about emojis. They had these huge lists, categories, the whole nine yards. I scrolled through lists of animals, trying to find a monkey or a gorilla that would fit the bill. I found a few that were close, but they weren’t quite hitting that Tarzan vibe, you know?

I even tried using the “search” function on these emoji sites. I typed in “Tarzan,” and… nothing. Seriously, not a single emoji popped up. I tried variations, like “jungle,” “ape,” “vine,” still, no dice. I was starting to feel like I was lost in the digital jungle myself!
But I’m not one to give up easily. I decided to get a little creative. I started combining emojis. I figured if I couldn’t find a ready-made Tarzan emoji, maybe I could make one. So, I put together a monkey emoji, a tree emoji, and this wave emoji to represent the jungle and the vines. It wasn’t perfect, but it was something!
- ππ΄π – My first attempt. A little basic, but it gets the idea across.
- π¦π΄πΏ – Tried a gorilla for a more muscular Tarzan.
- π¨βπ¦§π³π – Experimented with a man and an orangutan. Getting closer!
After a bit more tinkering, I came up with a combo that I think kinda works. I used a man emoji to represent Tarzan, then a tree for the jungle, and then I added a vine and a running man emoji, to capture that whole swinging-through-the-trees thing.

- π¨π³πΏπββοΈ – This one is my favorite. It’s not perfect, but I think it captures the essence of Tarzan.
So, yeah, that’s my story of trying to find the perfect Tarzan emoji. It was a bit of a wild ride, but I had fun with it. I think it’s pretty cool how you can combine emojis to create something new, even if it’s not officially recognized. Maybe one day we’ll get a real Tarzan emoji, but until then, we’ll just have to get creative with what we’ve got. Keep swinging, folks!
