Frequently Asked Questions
What does 🔣 mean in a text message?▼
Various symbols including music notes, ampersand, and percentage, representing special character input mode. Used for typing symbols beyond letters and numbers. Use for special characters, symbol input mode, punctuation, or non-alphanumeric characters. 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 🔣?▼
Each emoji has an official name assigned by the Unicode Consortium, which may differ from common names used in apps. The Input Symbols 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 🔣?▼
Yes. Screen readers announce emoji by their Unicode name, so 🔣 would be read aloud as "Input Symbols." 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 🔣?▼
On platforms like Slack and Discord, you can type `:symbols:` to insert the Input Symbols emoji. On GitHub, the same shortcodes work in issues and comments.
