Wired Keyboard 🖮

🖮 (U+1F5AE) 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: Wired Keyboard 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 WIRED KEYBOARD depicts a wired keyboard. In messaging, it can symbolize typing, office work, or tech setup. It helps show focus on input, productivity, or computer tasks. In UI text or captions, use it to indicate keyboard shortcuts or to discuss hardware for engineers. In chats, it can stand for reliability and a traditional computing era. Avoid ambiguity by pairing it with clear words when used in formal content. The character’s appearance may vary across platforms, apps, and fonts, so color or style may differ. For accessibility, provide surrounding text that explains the meaning. Cross‑platform, it should read as a keyboard symbol in most environments, and assistive tech should read it as related to input hardware.

Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+1F5AE 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.
