Woman 👩

👩 (U+1F469) 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: Woman 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 WOMAN emoji depicts a woman. It can represent a female person in messages and interfaces, and it can stand for ideas or activities involving women. Use it to refer to a female speaker or character, to show collaboration or roles that involve women, or to express emotions or situations associated with women in a clear, everyday way. In UI and text, place it where the meaning is clear to avoid ambiguity in formal content. If a platform lacks color emoji support, a monochrome or text-style fallback may appear. For accessibility, ensure surrounding text conveys the intended meaning and provide a short description for assistive tech. Cross-platform appearance varies by platform, app, and font, so test readability and contrast.

Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+1F469 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.
