Black Droplet 🌢
🌢 (U+1F322) 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: Black Droplet is part of the Symbols family (block: Miscellaneous Symbols and Pictographs). 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 BLACK DROPLET depicts a droplet emoji. It can represent water, rain, ink, or a mood element depending on context. In messaging, it marks liquid or moisture and can add nuance to weather updates or emotional cues. In UI text or documentation, it signals a liquid status, a leak alert, or a stylized icon for a fluid product. In notes and labels, it helps convey simplicity and compact meaning without using words. For accessibility, provide surrounding text to clarify the intended sense and avoid ambiguity. Across platforms, appearance varies in color and detail, so keep the meaning clear and test with assistive tech to ensure the message is understood by all users.
Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+1F322 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.
