Studio Microphone 🎙
🎙 (U+1F399) 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: Studio Microphone 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 STUDIO MICROPHONE emoji depicts a studio microphone. It can mark a recording task in chats or notes. It helps show podcast work, music sessions, or voice‑over ideas. It signals audio events in messages and interfaces and clarifies when you plan to record. Use it to call out a recording session, a live stream, or a voice message. The meaning fits both casual chats and work apps. Appearance and color vary across platforms, apps, and fonts, so designs may differ in detail. For accessibility, ensure surrounding text conveys the intended meaning. Cross‑platform note: the symbol may look different, but its purpose as a recording or audio cue stays clear to users with assistive tech.
Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+1F399 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.
