Capricorn ♑️

The Capricorn glyph displays a goat or the hybrid creature known as the sea-goat—part mountain goat, part fish tail—shown in a simple, iconic line-art style within a circle. The symbol captures both the climbing ambition of the goat and the aquatic mysteries suggested by its tail.

Capricorn covers December 22 to January 19, and people proudly display this symbol to identify their sun sign or share their astrological personality. It's especially visible during New Year's season when Capricorn birthdays overlap with resolutions and fresh starts. The sign is famous for association with ambition, discipline, and dry wit, making it a popular choice for professional bios and motivational content.

You'll often see Capricorn paired with work emojis (briefcase, books), mountain symbols for climbing to the top, or clock emojis emphasizing Capricorn's patient, methodical approach to success. It also appears frequently in astrology memes celebrating the stereotype of hardworking, slightly sarcastic Capricorns.

The sea-goat mythology traces back to ancient Babylonian and Greek traditions, connecting the sign to both earthly determination and emotional depth. The symbol itself has remained virtually unchanged for thousands of years in astrological texts. Approved as part of Unicode Emoji 0.6 in 2010, it anchors the zodiac emoji set alongside its fellow cardinal signs.
