What it is and where it’s used: Carousel Horse 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 CAROUSEL HORSE depicts a carousel horse. In UI and messages, it can symbolize fun, rides, or shared moments of amusement. It may be used to convey nostalgia, party vibes, or a playful, whimsical mood. It can accompany text about fairs, celebrations, or young‑at‑heart experiences, or serve as a light icon for events and entertainment categories. In design or onboarding, it helps soften tone and invite friendly interaction without using words alone. You can pair it with emojis of people or celebrations to show joy or motion. Accessibility notes remind creators to provide surrounding text that clarifies the meaning for screen readers and users who cannot see color or detail. Cross‑platform appearance varies by app and font, so include explicit context when needed.
Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+1F3A0 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.
