Robot Face 🤖

🤖 (U+1F916) 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: Robot Face is part of the Symbols family (block: Supplemental Symbols and Pictographs). 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 ROBOT FACE depicts a robot face. Use it to represent automation in messages, such as status updates or chat responses that come from a bot. It can mark UI elements or help text that signal a machine action, like a canned reply or system prompt. In documentation or tutorials, it shows when a process is automated rather than human. The emoji also flags a nonexpressive tone in alerts or status indicators, keeping content clear and concise. Appearance varies across platforms, apps, and fonts, so color, style, and detail may differ. For accessibility, ensure surrounding text conveys the intended meaning for screen readers. If a platform lacks color emoji, a monochrome fallback may be shown, so test in key environments.

Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+1F916 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.
