Window 🪟
🪟 (U+1FA9F) 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: Window 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: WINDOW depicts a window. In messaging, it can represent a literal window in a room or a view from a home or building. It can mark UI elements like a new window or pane when describing software layouts or opening tools. People might use it to talk about weather, daylight, or travel plans by mentioning what they can see through a window. Across platforms, appearance and color vary, so the emoji may look different in each app. In design and documentation, use it to clarify references to spaces or views and avoid gaps in meaning. For accessibility, ensure surrounding text communicates the intended sense so users who rely on screen readers grasp the idea without ambiguity.
Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+1FA9F 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

Web pages: ensure your CSS font stack includes a general fallback; avoid relying on images for common symbols to preserve accessibility and copyability.
