History & usage: CARPENTRY SAW depicts a carpentry saw. In messages it can express woodworking or tool use. It can appear in project notes to indicate cutting tasks or in design discussions to reference carpentry work. It can also show up in tutorials or checklists to mark a step that involves sawing or material shaping. Appearance can vary across platforms, apps, and fonts, so color, style, and detail may differ. For accessibility, ensure surrounding text conveys the intended meaning, and provide plain language context when needed. If a platform lacks color emoji support, a monochrome or text-style fallback may be shown.

Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+1FA9A 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.
