Meaning & usage
Recycling symbol (♻️) conveys an emotion, object or visual idea as an emoji.
Use it in messages and captions; emoji artwork and interpretation differ between platforms.
U+267B U+FE0F identifies this exact recycling symbol form; copying the character preserves its Unicode identity, while its appearance depends on the font or emoji renderer.
recycling symbol 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. recycling symbol is a sequence of 2 Unicode code points, not a single character. Keep every part when copying it: removing a joiner, selector or component can change the result.
How to type recycling symbol
- Windows
- Use Win + . for the emoji and symbol panel, or Character Map for supported fonts. In Microsoft Word, enter each hexadecimal code (267B + FE0F) 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 recycling symbol. 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 267B + FE0F, then Enter. Enter each code point separately for sequences. Other desktops or apps may require their character picker.
- iPhone & Android
- Look for recycling symbol 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.
