Empty Note Page 🗆
🗆 (U+1F5C6) 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: Empty Note Page 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 EMPTY NOTE PAGE as a simple page icon. Use it in messaging to show a blank page, a draft, or a placeholder for notes. It can mark an empty document in an app, or signal that a note is missing and needs content. In UI, place it to represent a saved placeholder or a starting point for new content. When designing help text or onboarding, this emoji can indicate where users should add information. Across platforms, its color and style vary, so designs may differ in color, outline, and detail. For accessibility, provide surrounding text that clearly explains the intended meaning and use, so the symbol supports all users and screen readers.
Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+1F5C6 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
Font support: if the symbol does not render, the current font likely lacks this codepoint. Choose a font with broad Unicode coverage or allow a fallback font.
Web pages: ensure your CSS font stack includes a general fallback; avoid relying on images for common symbols to preserve accessibility and copyability.
