Tiger 🐅

🐅 (U+1F405) 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: Tiger 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: The TIGER emoji depicts a tiger. In messaging and interfaces, it conveys ideas, emotions, or objects when used with text. Use it to represent the animal, strength, or a wild aspect in casual chats or UI labels. It can show excitement in a playful mood or signal danger in a story. Remember that appearance changes across platforms, apps, and fonts, so color and style may vary. If a platform lacks color emoji, a monochrome option or text fallback may appear. For accessibility, ensure surrounding text conveys the intended meaning, so readers understand the tiger reference. Use thoughtfully and avoid ambiguity in formal content.

Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+1F405 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.
