Stamped Envelope 🖃
🖃 (U+1F583) 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: Stamped Envelope 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 the STAMPED ENVELOPE. Use it to indicate mail, letter sending, or official correspondence in messages and interfaces. It can signal receiving a note, confirming delivery, or starting a mailing task in apps. It also helps mark document or parcel related actions, such as filing a message about postage or tracking status. If a platform lacks color emoji, rely on a simple, clear intention and avoid ambiguity in formal content. Appearance may vary across platforms, apps, and fonts, so colors and details differ. For accessibility, ensure surrounding text conveys the intended meaning and provide alternative text or context for screen readers. Cross‑platform, test in different UI themes to keep meaning clear and present.
Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+1F583 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.

Compatibility & troubleshooting

Web pages: ensure your CSS font stack includes a general fallback; avoid relying on images for common symbols to preserve accessibility and copyability.
