Note Pad 🗊
🗊 (U+1F5CA) 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: Note Pad 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: NOTE PAD depicts a note pad emoji. Use it in messaging to indicate writing, note taking, or a reminder about a task. In UI and documentation, it stands for notes, checklists, or reference material. In study apps or collaboration tools, it marks drafts, meeting notes, or study summaries. It can help clarify intent when sharing ideas or organizing information. If a platform lacks color emoji, a monochrome version may appear. Accessibility: ensure surrounding text conveys the intended meaning for screen readers, and provide plain language alternatives where needed. Cross-platform appearance varies by app and font, so keep captions or context close to the emoji to avoid ambiguity.
Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+1F5CA 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.
