History & usage: LOWER LEFT CRAYON depicts a crayon used for color. It can show up in messages to indicate drawing, coloring, or classroom tasks. In educational apps, it marks color selection, art activities, or creative work. In UI design, it signals a playful, artistic theme or a drawing feature. Appearance can vary across platforms, apps, and fonts, so colors and details may look different. If color emoji support is missing, a monochrome or text-style fallback may appear. For accessibility, ensure surrounding text conveys the intended meaning so readers understand the symbol’s purpose.

Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+1F58D 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.
