Factory 🏭

🏭 (U+1F3ED) 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: Factory is part of the Symbols family (block: Miscellaneous 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: FACTORY depicts a factory. It serves as a concise visual for ideas, objects, or topics in messages and interfaces. Use it to discuss manufacturing, industry, or production in conversations. It can denote production status in dashboards or reports, or illustrate supply chains and factory work in text. In UI, it helps convey scale, process, or output when words alone feel heavy. Consider audience and tone to avoid misinterpretation in formal content. Remember that appearance can vary across platforms, apps, and fonts, so color, style, and detail may differ. If a platform lacks color emoji support, a monochrome or text-style fallback may be shown. For accessibility, ensure surrounding text conveys the intended meaning. Cross-platform use remains effective when you pair clear text with the emoji.

Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+1F3ED 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.
