Tortoise Shell Bracketed Cjk Unified Ideograph-6253 🉅
🉅 (U+1F245) is a standard Unicode character that you can copy and paste anywhere text is accepted. This page provides a concise reference with safe tips, internal links, and practical guidance so you can use it reliably across apps and platforms.
What it is and where it’s used: Tortoise Shell Bracketed Cjk Unified Ideograph-6253 is part of the Symbols family (block: Enclosed Ideographic 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 TORTOISE SHELL BRACKETED CJK UNIFIED IDEOGRAPH-6253 depicts a bracketed symbol used for enclosing groups and quoted text. In writing, it can mark terms or phrases that are being highlighted or discussed as a unit. In coding and data formats, it helps delimit parameters, options, or string literals within a block of code or configuration. It may also be used to bracket items in lists or to enclose examples to avoid ambiguity. Flexible in plain text and typographic contexts, it supports clear separation of content and quoted material. Cross‑platform, it renders similarly on major systems, and accessible technology should announce it as punctuation to support screen readers.
Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+1F245 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.

Compatibility & troubleshooting

Web pages: ensure your CSS font stack includes a general fallback; avoid relying on images for common symbols to preserve accessibility and copyability.
