Bullet Train

A high-speed train, designed to cover long distances at high speed. Also features a streamlined bullet nose, often used in reference to the Shinkansen in Japan.

Can also be used figuratively to show support for a cause or movement, inviting others to “get on board” with the idea—much like announcing “all aboard!” when a train is about to depart.

Bullet Train was approved as part of Unicode 6.0 in 2010 under the name "High-Speed Train with Bullet Nose" and added to Emoji 1.0 in 2015.
