Occultation 🝵

🝵 (U+1F775) 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: Occultation is part of the Symbols family (block: Alchemical Symbols). If you need styled or decorative alternatives, try our Fancy Text tool to generate compatible text that works in most modern interfaces.

History & usage: OCCULTATION depicts an eclipse event. In messages, use this emoji to signal overlap, concealment, or a moment when one idea covers another. It can illustrate a plan that hides details until later, or a surprise element that briefly blocks the view. It also serves as a metaphor for timing, when two events align and one thing temporarily obscures another. In user interfaces, it marks progress or a pause where information is hidden from view until user action. For accessibility, pair the emoji with text that clarifies meaning to assist screen readers. Cross‑platform, appearance may vary by device or font, so ensure the surrounding copy conveys the intended idea. Always test in context so the intent remains clear across platforms and assistive technologies.

Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+1F775 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.
