Weary Cat Face 🙀
🙀 (U+1F640) 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: Weary 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: The character depicts WEARY CAT FACE. It signals tiredness, disappointment, or mild exasperation in messages and interfaces. Use it when a user is worn out after a long day, when a request feels burdensome, or when a task is frustrating but not angry. It can soften a warning by adding a gentle, relatable tone, or show sympathy in feedback when someone shares bad news. In chat, it helps convey mood without extra words, and in dashboards, it marks a stalled or slow process with a touch of light humor. For accessibility, provide surrounding text that explains the meaning to assist screen readers, and ensure the same idea is clear even if color or style varies across platforms.
Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+1F640 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.
