History & usage: RIGHT SPEAKER WITH ONE SOUND WAVE depicts a speaker icon with a single curved line indicating sound. It signals audio, alerts, or a playback action in messages and interfaces. Use it to show that sound is on or that a notification plays, such as announcing a message, a new voicemail, or an ongoing audio stream. It can also represent listening, broadcasting, or media control in UI, like turning on volume, indicating voice chat, or starting a podcast. In text, it helps clarify sound-related meaning in captions or help prompts. Across platforms and apps, appearance can vary in color, style, and detail, so the emoji may look different. For accessibility, ensure surrounding text conveys the intended meaning and provide text equivalents when needed.
Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+1F569 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.
