📋 clipboard

Copy as

Meaning & usage

Clipboard (📋) conveys an emotion, object or visual idea as an emoji.

Use it in messages and captions; emoji artwork and interpretation differ between platforms.

U+1F4CB identifies this exact clipboard form; copying the character preserves its Unicode identity, while its appearance depends on the font or emoji renderer.

clipboard can act as a visual label for its named subject in a caption or list. It is not a standardized replacement for a written label in technical or safety information. clipboard occupies one Unicode code point. A similar-looking letter, punctuation mark or emoji is not necessarily interchangeable with 📋 in search, filenames or text processing.

How to type clipboard

Windows

Use Win + . for the emoji and symbol panel, or Character Map for supported fonts. In Microsoft Word, enter each hexadecimal code (1F4CB) and press Alt + X. There is no universal decimal Alt code for this character; legacy Alt codes depend on the code page.

Mac

Open Character Viewer with Control + Command + Space and search for clipboard. With the Unicode Hex Input keyboard enabled, hold Option and enter the UTF-16 units shown above. Standard Option shortcuts do not cover every Unicode symbol.

Linux

In compatible GTK applications, press Ctrl + Shift + U, enter 1F4CB, then Enter. Enter each code point separately for sequences. Other desktops or apps may require their character picker.

iPhone & Android

Look for clipboard in your emoji keyboard if available, or copy it here and paste. Save frequently used symbols as a text replacement or keyboard shortcut; availability varies by keyboard.
