History & usage: FREEZING FACE depicts a face showing extreme cold. Use this emoji to express feeling cold in a message, a chilly environment, or a frosty reaction. It can convey reactions like cold humor, a chilly welcome, or icy tension in a conversation. You can also use it to mark cold weather, a frozen moment, or a stark contrast in text. For accessibility, provide surrounding text that states the intended meaning and avoid relying on the emoji alone. Cross‑platform appearance varies in color and detail, so be mindful when the context could be unclear. Ensure the surrounding sentence clarifies intent and provide a text alternative if needed for assistive tech.
Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+1F976 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.
