Hammer 🔨

🔨 (U+1F528) 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: Hammer 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 HAMMER depicts the HAMMER emoji. It can symbolize construction work, repair tasks, or strong action in chats and notes. Use it in UI and messages to indicate building, fixing, or applying force in a clear way. In tutorials, design notes, or project planning, it marks tool use or a need to make a change. Remember that appearance varies across platforms and fonts, so color, style, and detail may differ. If color emoji is not supported, a monochrome or text style may appear. For accessibility, ensure surrounding text conveys the intended meaning so readers understand the emoji’s purpose.

Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+1F528 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.
