History & usage: TRIANGULAR FLAG ON POST depicts a flag on a post. In messaging and interfaces, it signals a marker, goal, or location, and meaning changes with context. In maps or task apps, it can mark a waypoint, completion badge, or route cue. In documentation or UI labels, it supports quick attention for milestones or alerts. The emoji’s appearance varies across platforms, apps, and fonts, so color, style, and detail may differ. For accessibility, ensure surrounding text conveys the intended meaning. If a platform lacks color emoji support, a monochrome or text-style fallback may be shown.

Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+1F6A9 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.
