History & usage: BLACK PUSHPIN depicts a pushpin emoji used in messages and interfaces to mark items for later attention. It can indicate a pinned task in a to‑do list or a saved note in a chat, helping readers see what needs follow‑up. It also works to tag a location or bookmark a section in a document or project board, signaling that something is important or currently active. In UI, it can show reminders, prioritized messages, or items that are stuck to a main view for quick access. For accessibility, ensure surrounding text conveys the intended meaning and note that color or style may vary across platforms; provide a text alternative if needed for clarity. It may appear differently across platforms and should be tested for clear meaning and legibility.

Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+1F588 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.
