👶 (U+1F476) 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: Baby 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 BABY emoji depicts BABY. In messaging, it can signal parenting topics or child care tasks, such as announcing a new birth, asking for baby product tips, or showing affection to a young child. It can also mark family milestones or warm, nurturing moments in conversations with friends or relatives. When used in UI text, it helps convey a gentle or tender tone and can support empathy in informal content. Remember that appearance varies across platforms, apps, and fonts, so colors and details may change. If a platform lacks color emoji support, a monochrome or text‑style fallback may appear. For accessibility, ensure surrounding text clearly conveys the intended meaning and provide context when needed."}

Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+1F476 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.
