Badminton Racquet and Shuttlecock 🏸
🏸 (U+1F3F8) 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: Badminton Racquet and Shuttlecock 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 BADMINTON RACQUET AND SHUTTLECOCK emoji depicts a badminton racket and shuttlecock. Use it to reference the sport in chats or captions, plan a game with friends, or show interest in a casual activity or tournament. It can signal leisure time, a gym or park outing, or a sports-themed event in messages. In UI, it helps illustrate sports content or convey energy and recreation without words. For accessibility, provide surrounding text that clarifies the meaning, and consider alt text or context for screen readers. Appearance varies across platforms, apps, and fonts, so colors and details may change. If color emoji is unavailable, a monochrome or text‑style fallback may appear, but the intended sport meaning should remain clear across contexts.
Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+1F3F8 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.
