🚪 (U+1F6AA) 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: Door 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: DOOR depicts a door. In messages or interfaces, it signals entry, access, or a boundary. It can mark a transition point in a workflow, such as login prompts, gated content, or a step to enter a new screen. It also supports indicating a room, building, or secure area when describing location in apps or maps. Use it to show privacy, permission, or exit flows in UI text. On platforms, appearance varies by color and style, so intent should be clear from surrounding words. If color emoji is not supported, a monochrome version may appear. For accessibility, pair the emoji with text that conveys the meaning to assist screen readers.

Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+1F6AA 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.
