🧎 (U+1F9CE) 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: Kneeling Person 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: The character depicts KNEELING PERSON. Use this emoji to show humility, respect, or a ceremonial posture in messages. It can signal a scene where a person kneels in prayer, homage, or pledging support in text or chats. It may also stand in for a moment of reverence in storytelling or when a character lowers themselves before others. In user interfaces or documentation, it helps convey solemn or respectful actions without words. Be mindful that appearance varies across platforms, apps, and fonts, so color, style, and detail can differ. If color emoji is not supported, a monochrome or text–style fallback may appear. For accessibility, ensure surrounding text clearly conveys the intended meaning and keep the gesture unambiguous for screen readers and keyboard users.

Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+1F9CE 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.
