They don't give a ticker symbol for either one of these, but I found this:

The primary ticker symbol for the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (price return) is MXEF. It is also tracked by the symbol MSCIEF on various platforms. For the most popular exchange-traded fund (ETF) that tracks this index, the ticker is EEM (iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF)

===================================

I have been overweighted for many many years in non-U.S. mutual funds and ETFs, and have paid a huge and heavy price for doing so. Finally, about a year ago (?) non-U.S. stocks including emerging market have been outperforming and I thought that my day has finally come. Well, maybe not.

Would be nice to have some gauges of non-U.S. equities

US stocks are off to their worst start versus the global market since 1995, Yahoo Finance, 2/18/26[

*THERE's an iShares MSCI ACWI ex U.S. ETF (ACWX) VERSUS S&P 500 - where one can set 1 D, 5D, 1M, 6M, YTD (9.7% v. 0.8%), 1Y (31.7% vs. 12.9%), 5Y (30.0% v. 76.7%), ALL (starting about 4/2008: 35% vs. 393%)
(ACWI stands for All Country World Index). One can see that the S&P 500 vastly outperformed the rest of the world in the past 5 years and the past 18 years, but since late 2024, the rest of the world has outperformed the S&P 500.

I don't know their measure of the S&P 500 was -- is it the price-only index we are familiar with (shown at the top of every finance.yahoo.com page ^GSPC , or is it an S&P 500 ETF like VOO or SPY?

Again I don't like using ETF's for measuring market performance because they are polluted by discounts or premiums over net asset value. And the price of ETF's don't include dividends or reinvested dividends.

iShares MSCI ACWI ex U.S. ETF (ACWX) includes both developed markets and emerging markets.
