What it is and where it’s used: Regional Indicator Symbol Letter J is part of the Symbols family (block: Enclosed Alphanumeric Supplement). If you need styled or decorative alternatives, try our Fancy Text tool to generate compatible text that works in most modern interfaces.
History & usage: The REGIONAL INDICATOR SYMBOL LETTER J depicts the regional indicator letter J. Use it to signal a country or regional tag in a sequence, or to label items with initials in a UI or message. It can also convey a regional theme in chats or lists when paired with other regional indicators. Emojis convey ideas, emotions, or objects in messaging and interfaces; meaning depends on context, so place it where the meaning is clear. Appearance can vary across platforms, apps, and fonts, so designs may differ in color, style, and detail. If a platform lacks color emoji support, a monochrome or text-style fallback may be shown. For accessibility, ensure surrounding text conveys the intended meaning and provide alt text where possible for screen readers.
Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+1F1EF 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.
