History & usage: MAXIMIZE depicts the idea of making something as large or as effective as possible. In messages, use this emoji to show you want to boost effort, outcomes, or enthusiasm for a goal. In user interfaces, it can signal you intend to expand a window, widen a panel, or emphasize greater scope in a task. In documentation or notes, it helps highlight steps that increase impact or efficiency while keeping the meaning clear. Be mindful of platform differences, as color and style may vary across apps and fonts. If color is not available, a monochrome or plain-text appearance may appear. For accessibility, ensure surrounding text conveys the intended meaning and that the use remains clear for screen readers and keyboard navigation.

Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+1F5D6 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.
