Frequently Asked Questions
What does ℹ️ mean in a text message?▼
Consider the letter 'i' in a circle, the universal information symbol. Represents information desks, help centers, details, and places where you can learn more. Use for providing information, directing to help resources, sharing details, or indicating an info desk location. The tone can shift depending on context — a message to a friend reads differently than one to a coworker.
What is the official Unicode name for ℹ️?▼
Each emoji has an official name assigned by the Unicode Consortium, which may differ from common names used in apps. The Information emoji's official designation is listed in the Unicode CLDR (Common Locale Data Repository). Shortcode names like those on Slack or Discord are platform-specific.
Can screen readers interpret ℹ️?▼
Yes. Screen readers announce emoji by their Unicode name, so ℹ️ would be read aloud as "Information." When using multiple emoji in a row, screen readers read each one individually, which can be overwhelming — so use them sparingly in accessible content.
What is the shortcode for ℹ️?▼
On platforms like Slack and Discord, you can type `:information_source:` to insert the Information emoji. On GitHub, the same shortcodes work in issues and comments.
