Water Closet 🚾

🚾 (U+1F6BE) 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: Water Closet 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 WATER CLOSET depicts a toilet. In messaging and interfaces, use it to indicate a bathroom or restroom break. Use it on maps or guides to mark facilities, or in UI labels to refer to restrooms without long text. Include it in chat or app prompts when scheduling breaks or locating facilities. For accessibility, ensure surrounding text conveys the meaning and provide a clear description for screen readers. Appearance varies across platforms, apps, and fonts, so colors and shapes may differ. To keep clarity, pair the emoji with a short label or alt text and provide a non-emoji fallback when needed for cross‑platform consistency and inclusive use.

Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+1F6BE 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.
