Zombie 🧟
🧟 (U+1F9DF) 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: Zombie 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: ZOMBIE depicts a zombie emoji. Use it to convey fear, undead themes, or playful horror in messages and UI, depending on context. In chats, it can signal spooky mood, Halloween, or a light joke about being exhausted or zombie-like after a long day. In apps or games, it helps label zombie characters, quests, or content warnings with a clear visual cue. In documentation or interfaces, it can illustrate themes of danger or transformation in a non-literal way. Appearance can vary across platforms, apps, and fonts, so designs may differ in color and detail. For accessibility, ensure surrounding text conveys the intended meaning. Cross-platform appearance may differ; provide text alternatives or context to maintain clarity for all users.
Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+1F9DF 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.

Compatibility & troubleshooting
