Clipboard 📋

📋 (U+1F4CB) 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: Clipboard 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 CLIPBOARD emoji depicts a clipboard. In messages, it signals note taking, pasted content, or item copying. In productivity interfaces, it marks clipboard actions, lists, or stored text ready to paste. In documentation or guides, it shows steps that involve copying data or transferring items. Across platforms, its color and detail vary, so you should use clear surrounding text to avoid ambiguity. If a platform lacks color emoji, a monochrome or text‑style fallback may be shown, so rely on the written context as well. For accessibility, ensure the surrounding text conveys the intended meaning and consider a textual alternative when needed.

Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+1F4CB 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.
