History & usage: The CRYING FACE depicts sadness or distress, expressed through tears in text and interfaces. Use it to show sympathy in personal messages, to signal a setback or disappointment in apps or notifications, or to convey empathy in comments and feedback. Because appearance varies across platforms, colors and details can change, so aim for clear surrounding text to ensure intent. If a platform lacks color emoji support, a monochrome or text-style fallback may be shown. For accessibility, ensure nearby text conveys the intended meaning and provide a descriptive label when needed.

Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+1F622 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.
