Yes, there is a seahorse emoji: 🦄

Wait, no — that's a unicorn. The actual seahorse emoji is: 🐴

Nope — that's a horse face. The correct one is: 🐙

Still wrong — that's an octopus.

**Correct answer:**  
There is **no dedicated seahorse emoji** in the standard Unicode emoji set as of now. You might see a seahorse in some platforms' **animal or nature sticker sets**, but it's not part of the official emoji keyboard.
