European Post Office 🏤

🏤 (U+1F3E4) 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: European Post Office 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 European Post Office emoji depicts the European Post Office. It can be used to indicate mailing, shipping, or postal services in messages, UI labels, or tickets. It supports signaling parcel tracking, sending letters, or finding a post office in maps or contact threads. In customer support chats, it marks steps related to mail or deliveries. In e‑commerce, use it for shipping options, pickup locations, or secure mailing information. Remember that appearance can vary across platforms, apps, and fonts, so colors and details may differ. If a platform lacks color emoji, a monochrome version may appear. For accessibility, ensure surrounding text conveys the intended meaning and provide text alternatives for screen readers. Cross‑platform, it should read as a postal service symbol and remain clear.

Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+1F3E4 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.
