What it is and where it’s used: Face with Stuck-Out Tongue is part of the Symbols family (block: Emoticons). If you need styled or decorative alternatives, try our Fancy Text tool to generate compatible text that works in most modern interfaces.

History & usage: FACE WITH STUCK-OUT TONGUE depicts a playful or teasing mood in text. In messages, it conveys ideas, emotions, or objects with a light, fun tone, signaling joking or cheeky intent. In user interfaces or prompts, it can mark informal feedback, playful onboarding, or casual encouragement without formal wording. In documentation or guidance, use it carefully to keep intent clear and avoid ambiguity in formal content. If a platform lacks color emoji support, a monochrome or text-style fallback may be shown, so design should account for simple rendering. For accessibility, ensure surrounding text conveys the intended meaning so readers relying on assistive tech understand the tone. Across platforms, appearance varies in color and style; test in target apps to maintain consistent meaning and legibility.

Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+1F61B 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.
