Chopsticks 🥢

🥢 (U+1F962) 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: Chopsticks 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.

CHOPSTICKS depicts chopsticks. In messages, use it to signal dining, a meal, or Asian cuisine when text alone might be unclear. In UI or product chats, it can denote utensils, takeaway orders, or cooking scenes without writing extra words. In documentation or help threads, place it beside lists of steps or ingredients to visually hint at eating or preparation. Keep the meaning clear by pairing the emoji with surrounding text so users understand the intent. Because appearance varies across platforms, apps, and fonts, designs may differ in color, style, and detail. For accessibility, ensure surrounding text conveys the intended meaning, and consider describing the emoji for screen readers when necessary.

Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+1F962 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.

History & usage: Emojis convey ideas, emotions, or objects in messaging and interfaces; meaning depends on context. Appearance can vary across platforms, apps, and fonts, so designs may differ in color, style, and detail. Use emojis thoughtfully in UI and text; keep intent clear and avoid ambiguity in formal content. If a platform lacks color emoji support, a monochrome or text‑style fallback may be shown. For accessibility, ensure surrounding text conveys the intended meaning. A check mark typically means confirmed, done, or correct in lists and UIs.
