🔕 (U+1F515) 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: Bell with Cancellation Stroke 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 character depicts BELL WITH CANCELLATION STROKE. In messaging and interfaces, it signals a notification that has been muted or turned off. Use it to indicate a silenced alert in chats, settings panels, or task lists. It can mark a reminder or alert that should be suppressed or canceled in apps. It also helps show that a notification is intentionally blocked or quiet in conversations and workflows. For accessibility, provide surrounding text so screen readers convey the intended meaning, and ensure the symbol is accompanied by clear labels. Across platforms, appearance varies by app and font, so test in your UI and offer a text alternative if color emoji is unavailable.
Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+1F515 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.
