Lungs 🫁

🫁 (U+1FAC1) 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: Lungs 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: LUNGS depicts the lungs emoji. In messages, it can express health, breath, or medical topics related to breathing. It also stands for science, anatomy, or fatigue when used in conversations about workout or illness. Use it to highlight topics like respiratory health, medical discussions, or intense effort in a quick, visual way. It may appear with color and detail that vary by platform, app, or font, so expect differences in look. If used in UI or text, keep the intent clear to avoid confusion. When a platform lacks color emoji support, a monochrome or text-style fallback may appear. For accessibility, ensure surrounding text conveys the intended meaning so screen readers and users relying on assistive tech understand the message.

Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+1FAC1 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.
