Astonished Face 😲
😲 (U+1F632) 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: Astonished Face is part of the Symbols family (block: Emoticons). If you need styled or decorative alternatives, try our Fancy Text tool to generate compatible text that works in most modern interfaces.
History & usage: ASTONISHED FACE depicts astonishment or surprise. Use it to show strong reaction in messages when news is unexpected. It can anchor a user reaction in chat conversations, social updates, or feedback prompts to emphasize disbelief or amazement. It also fits UI contexts like form confirmations, error messages, or onboarding tips where a surprised tone clarifies a surprising result. The meaning depends on context and readers interpret it with surrounding text. In multi‑platform interfaces, be mindful that appearance can vary across platforms, apps, and fonts, so colors and details may differ. If a platform lacks color emoji support, a monochrome or text‑style fallback may be shown. For accessibility, ensure surrounding text conveys the intended meaning and provide alt text when needed.
Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+1F632 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

Web pages: ensure your CSS font stack includes a general fallback; avoid relying on images for common symbols to preserve accessibility and copyability.
