Orange Heart 🧡
🧡 (U+1F9E1) 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: Orange Heart 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 ORANGE HEART depicts a heart symbol used in digital text and interfaces to show care, warmth, or strong affinity. In messages, it can replace words like love, appreciation, or friendship in a casual tone. In user interfaces, it can mark favorites or indicate a positive status or completion. It may stand for warmth in chats, or to highlight a preferred item in lists. If a platform lacks color emoji, a monochrome or text-style fallback may appear, and appearance varies across platforms and fonts. For accessibility, ensure surrounding text conveys the intended meaning, so readers understand the intent even if color differs. Hearts are used to express love or to mark favorites/bookmarks.
Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+1F9E1 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.

Compatibility & troubleshooting

Web pages: ensure your CSS font stack includes a general fallback; avoid relying on images for common symbols to preserve accessibility and copyability.
