History & usage: The OM SYMBOL depicts a sacred symbol used in meditation and spiritual practice. Use it to show calm, mindfulness, or a focus on inner contemplation in messages and interfaces. It can label sections about chants, mantras, or Hindu and Buddhist ideas in educational apps. In chat, it signals a request for quiet reflection or a spiritual mood without words. Designers may place it beside meditation guides, breathing timers, or wellness content to reinforce intent. For accessibility, ensure surrounding text conveys the intended meaning and provide descriptive alt text when needed. Across platforms, color and style vary, so the symbol may look different in each app or font, but its meaning should stay clear and recognizable.

Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+1F549 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.
