History & usage: The PERSEVERING FACE depicts perseverance as an emoji. In messages it can show steady effort, resilience, or determination during a challenge. Use it to cheer on a colleague finishing a tough task, to indicate ongoing study or practice, or to signal commitment to a long project. It also fits when you want to acknowledge progress after a setback or to encourage someone to keep going. Be aware that appearance varies across platforms, apps, and fonts, so color and style may differ and affect tone. If accessibility matters, provide surrounding text that explains the meaning to help screen readers. When used in UI or notes, pair with clear words to avoid ambiguity for formal content.
Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+1F623 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.
