History & usage: The character depicts MAHJONG TILE NINE OF BAMBOOS. In messages, it references Mahjong, tile lists, or game-related context. It can mark a Nine of Bamboo tile in a hand or score note. In UI, it labels Mahjong tile options or game events. Emojis convey ideas or objects in messaging and interfaces, and meaning depends on context. Appearance varies across platforms, apps, and fonts, so color, style, and detail may differ. For accessibility, ensure surrounding text conveys the intended meaning and provide a text fallback if needed. If a platform lacks color emoji support, a monochrome or text-style fallback may be shown.

Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+1F018 in many development tools or editors. Some operating systems provide a character viewer or input palette that lets you search by name or code and insert the glyph into documents.
Display and fallback: if you see an empty box (tofu) or a placeholder rectangle, the active font might not include this codepoint. Switching to a font with broader Unicode coverage or using a fallback font usually fixes the issue. On the web, ensure the page’s font stack includes a general‑purpose fallback.
