What it is and where it’s used: Stick Figure is part of the Symbols family (block: Symbols for Legacy Computing). If you need styled or decorative alternatives, try our Fancy Text tool to generate compatible text that works in most modern interfaces.
History & usage: The STICK FIGURE depicts the STICK FIGURE symbol used as a check mark in lists and UIs. In task lists, it marks items that are completed or verified. In forms and apps, it signals approval or correctness for an entry. In dashboards or progress views, it indicates a step is done and ready to proceed. This meaning comes from its role as a sign of confirmation and accuracy in digital interfaces. For accessibility, provide text labels or aria-labels so screen readers convey purpose. Use high-contrast colors and ensure the symbol has a sufficient size for touch targets. Cross‑platform, ensure consistent rendering in fonts that include this glyph and test with assistive tech to keep it clear across devices.
Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+1FBC5 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.

Compatibility & troubleshooting

Web pages: ensure your CSS font stack includes a general fallback; avoid relying on images for common symbols to preserve accessibility and copyability.
