Convenience Store 🏪
🏪 (U+1F3EA) 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: Convenience Store 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 character depicts CONVENIENCE STORE. Use it to signal quick shopping or a small shop in a chat or app. It works well when you reference grabbing snacks, drinks, or everyday goods in a casual message. You can place it in UI prompts to denote a store option or a location in a map feature. It can also stand in for quick errands or a late‑night run to buy essentials. Remember that appearance varies across platforms and fonts, so color and style may change. If a platform lacks color emoji, a monochrome or text‑style fallback may appear. For accessibility, ensure surrounding text clearly conveys the intended meaning and provide alt text or context where needed.
Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+1F3EA 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.
