Plunger 🪠

🪠 (U+1FAA0) 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: Plunger is part of the Symbols family (block: Symbols and Pictographs Extended-A). If you need styled or decorative alternatives, try our Fancy Text tool to generate compatible text that works in most modern interfaces.

History & usage: PLUNGER depicts the plunger as an object in messages and interfaces. Use it to indicate cleaning tasks, bathroom repairs, or humor about clogged drains. It can help show plans to fix a leak, suggest a messy chore, or signal a quick home maintenance moment in a chat. In discussions about projects, it adds a visual cue for hands‑on tasks or tool use. It also serves as light relief in informal messages when you joke about clogged sinks.

Across platforms and fonts, appearance may vary, so colors and shapes differ by app. For accessibility, ensure surrounding text conveys the intended meaning, and provide a text label or description for screen readers. 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+1FAA0 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.
