In plain text, it helps convey a light, joyful tone. Note that appearance varies across platforms, apps, and fonts, so colors and shapes may differ.

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.
