What Are Bow and Ribbon Symbols?

Bow symbols are the signature of the coquette aesthetic, a soft, feminine style built around ribbons, pastel pink, lace and pearls. The emoji 🎀 (Ribbon, U+1F380) is the colourful option, but most of the “bows” you see in bios are actually letters from other writing systems that happen to look like a ribbon:

• ୨ৎ – the Oriya digit two (୨, U+0B68) next to the Bengali letter khanda ta (ৎ, U+09CE). Together they form the famous bow.
• ᰔ – the Lepcha letter BLA (U+1C14), which looks like a tiny ribbon loop.
• 🎗 – the Reminder Ribbon emoji (U+1F397), used for awareness causes.

Because ୨ৎ and ᰔ are text characters, they take on your font colour, so they look elegant in black, white or any coloured caption.

Coquette Bow Combinations to Copy

• ୨ৎ your name ୨ৎ – the classic bow frame
• ⋆˚ ୨ৎ ˚⋆ – bow with soft sparkles
• 🎀 ♡ 🎀 – colourful version for stories
• ᰔᩚ little things ᰔᩚ – delicate ribbon loops for captions
• ୨୧ ┈┈┈┈ ୨୧ – a ribbon divider for bios and highlights

Pair bows with pearls (🫧), pink hearts (🩷), swans (🦢) or ballet shoes (🩰) to complete the coquette look.

Where You Can Use Bow Symbols

Bow symbols work in Instagram names and bios, TikTok bios, Pinterest boards, Discord display names, WhatsApp statuses and game nicknames. Instagram allows 30 characters in a name and 150 in a bio, so a short frame like ୨ৎ name ୨ৎ fits easily.

A few older Android phones and some game fonts do not include the Oriya and Bengali characters and show an empty box instead. If that happens, use the 🎀 emoji, which every modern phone supports. Screen readers read ୨ৎ as “two” followed by a letter, so for accessibility keep important words outside the decoration.

How to Type Bow Symbols on Your Phone and Computer

None of the bow characters are on a standard keyboard, so copying them is the quickest option. If you use them every day, save them as a shortcut:

• iPhone: go to Settings › General › Keyboard › Text Replacement, tap +, paste ୨ৎ as the phrase and type a shortcut such as “bow”. Typing “bow” will then suggest the symbol.
• Android (Gboard): open Gboard settings › Dictionary › Personal dictionary, add ୨ৎ and give it a shortcut.
• Windows and Mac: 🎀 is in the emoji panel (Windows key + . or Control + Command + Space). For ୨ৎ, Microsoft Word users can type 0B68, press Alt + X, then type 09CE and press Alt + X again.

Once saved, you can add a bow to captions, comments and messages in a second without coming back to this page.
