History & usage: The character FACE WITH DIAGONAL MOUTH depicts a particular expression of mood in text and UI. In messaging, use it to show mixed feelings or a cautious stance. In user interfaces, place it to signal confusion, hesitation, or an uncertain tone in guidance or help content. It can also appear in informal chats to add humor or emphasis when words are unclear. Remember that appearance varies across platforms and fonts, so color and style may differ. For accessibility, ensure surrounding text conveys the intended meaning. If a platform lacks color emoji support, a monochrome fallback may be shown. This helps cross‑platform use and keeps meaning clear for all readers.
Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+1FAE4 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.
