What it is and where it’s used: Empty Note 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 EMPTY NOTE depicts a note or placeholder emoji used to convey ideas, emotions, or objects in messaging and interfaces. Use it to signal a missing note, a reminder, or a placeholder in chats, emails, or app screens. It can mark an unfinished task, indicate where a note should be added, or represent a simple notification in UI labels. Be mindful that appearance can vary across platforms and fonts, so colors and details may differ. In accessibility contexts, ensure surrounding text conveys the intended meaning and avoid relying on the emoji alone to communicate crucial information. Across platforms, expect some style changes, and test that the meaning remains clear in different environments.

Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+1F5C5 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.
