Adhesive Bandage 🩹

🩹 (U+1FA79) 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: Adhesive Bandage is part of the Symbols family (block: Symbols and Pictographs Extended-A). If you need styled or decorative alternatives, try our Fancy Text tool to generate compatible text that works in most modern interfaces.

History & usage: ADHESIVE BANDAGE depicts a medical bandage. In messages, it stands for minor injuries, first aid, or care after a cut. It can appear in health apps to mark wound care, reminders, or a quick update on healing progress. It also works in UI labels for first‑aid tutorials or customer support about injury safety. From the usage guidance, emojis convey ideas, emotions, or objects, and meaning depends on context, so plan how you present it in your interface. Appearance can vary across platforms, apps, and fonts, so designs may differ in color, style, and detail. For accessibility, ensure surrounding text conveys the intended meaning and provide a clear description when needed. Cross‑platform, the emoji may render differently, so test it with assistive technologies and multiple devices.

Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+1FA79 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.
