1F5E

1F5E is the hexadecimal designation for the Unicode code point U+1F5E, located in the Miscellaneous Symbols and Pictographs block. It represents a single symbol, and the exact visual glyph depends on the font, platform, and rendering system. On many modern platforms it may appear as an emoji-style pictograph, while other environments may render it as a simple monochrome symbol. Variation selectors U+FE0F (emoji presentation) and U+FE0E (text presentation) can influence how it is displayed where supported.

From a technical perspective, U+1F5E is encoded in UTF-8 as a four-byte sequence and in UTF-16 as a surrogate pair; in UTF-32 it is represented directly as 0x00001F5E. The Unicode Character Database provides a formal name and a set of properties for the code point, which determine its general category and how software should treat it in text processing and rendering.

Usage of this code point is tied to its role as a pictograph within the extended symbol set. Its practical appearance and availability depend on font coverage and the emoji sets adopted by the platform or application in use. As with many newer Unicode symbols, it may be more reliably visible on systems that include up-to-date fonts and proper emoji or symbol rendering support.

History and references: U+1F5E is part of the ongoing expansion of the Miscellaneous Symbols and Pictographs block, introduced as Unicode evolved to include a broader range of pictographs and emoji. It is widely supported in contemporary software environments that maintain current Unicode data and font libraries.
