Is there a Unicode Character for a cylinder database?

Viewed 791

I am looking for a single symbol/letter to represent a data source in text of an HTML page (or Markdown).

I would like to use the cylinder shape has usual for a database.

Maybe I am not searching for the right word, but I am not figuring out any Unicode for a cylinder or something similar.

Is there a Unicode Character for a cylinder?

I tend to (mis)use (Oil drum) \x1F6E2, since I have more databases than oil drums. (See Unicode.org )

There's a file cabinet U+1F5C4. And a card file box and card file index.

There’s U+26C1 WHITE DRAUGHTS KING ⛁ and U+26C3 BLACK DRAUGHTS KING ⛃, which are similar visually if not semantically.

You can also use a square shape to represent a database (looks like a server farm):

▤ Square with Horizontal Fill (U+25A4)

⌸ Apl Functional Symbol Quad Equal (U+2338)
