Use it to mark a starting point in a process, a cautious action, or a single move that affects a larger strategy. It can stand for progress through careful steps, or a low‑risk action that opens the way for future options. In discussions of games, learning, or teamwork, it signals steady effort and potential growth without overwhelming the larger goal.

Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+1FA6D 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.
