Zebra Face 🦓
🦓 (U+1F993) 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: Zebra Face is part of the Symbols family (block: Supplemental 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: ZEBRA FACE depicts a zebra face emoji used in text and UI as a symbol for fun, whimsy, or wildlife. It can convey joy, surprise, or playfulness in casual chats. In branding or product interfaces, it signals a light, friendly tone related to animals or nature. It may stand for a theme of contrast or bold style, depending on context. Its appearance can vary across platforms, apps, and fonts, so color and detail may differ. For accessibility, provide surrounding text that clearly states the meaning to assist screen readers. If a platform lacks color emoji, a monochrome or text-style fallback may be shown. Use it thoughtfully to avoid ambiguity in formal content and ensure the intended idea is clear across devices.
Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+1F993 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.
