Crying Cat Face 😿
😿 (U+1F63F) 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: Crying Cat 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: CRYING CAT FACE depicts an emoji cat with tears. Use it to show sadness or sympathy in messages. It can express regret or disappointment in notes or responses. It can also add playful, exaggerated emotion in friendly chats when you want to soften a message or show empathy with a light touch. Be mindful that the meaning changes with context, so pair it with clear text to avoid ambiguity. 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 consider alt text or labels where possible to aid screen readers.
Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+1F63F 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.
