History & usage: TOOTHBRUSH depicts a toothbrush, used in text and UI to represent dental care or hygiene tasks. In conversations, it signals brushing routines, morning or night hygiene, or personal care reminders. In apps, it can label dental health tips, product recommendations, or checklists for routine maintenance. In UI, it helps convey cleanliness, grooming, or health habits in guidelines or educational content. Note that appearance varies by platform, app, and font, so color and style may differ. If a platform lacks color emoji, a monochrome or text fallback may appear. 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+1FAA5 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.
