Feather 🪶

🪶 (U+1FAB6) 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: Feather 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: FEATHER depicts a feather. In messaging, it can express lightness, gentleness, or a nature reference. In user interfaces, it can mark a playful or decorative touch, or symbolize writing, light drafts, or craft themes. In text, it can accompany ideas about wind, travel, or renewal. Use emojis thoughtfully to keep intent clear in formal content, and avoid ambiguity. If a platform lacks color emoji support, a monochrome or text-style fallback may be shown, and appearance can vary across platforms and fonts. 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+1FAB6 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.
