🧤 (U+1F9E4) 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: Gloves 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 GLOVES. In messaging, gloves can symbolize winter gear, protection, or readiness depending on context. They convey ideas, emotions, or objects in user interfaces; meaning depends on context. Appearance can vary across platforms, apps, and fonts, so designs may differ in color, style, and detail. Use emojis thoughtfully in UI and text; keep intent clear and avoid ambiguity in formal content. If a platform lacks color emoji support, a monochrome or text-style fallback may be shown. For accessibility, ensure surrounding text conveys the intended meaning.

Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+1F9E4 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.
