Rocket 🚀

🚀 (U+1F680) 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: Rocket is part of the Symbols family (block: Transport and Map Symbols). 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 ROCKET depicts a rocket. In messaging, it can show speed, travel, or rapid action. Use it to signal quick progress, a launch, or an upcoming update in chats or UI captions. It can add emphasis when you want fast movement or new features. Be aware that appearance varies across platforms, apps, and fonts, so color, style, and detail may differ. If a platform lacks color emoji support, a monochrome or text-style fallback may appear. For accessibility, ensure surrounding text conveys the intended meaning and consider adding alt text or labels where possible. Across platforms, check contrast and readability to support all users.

Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+1F680 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.
