circled information source

Circled Information Source

🛈 is the circled-i info mark: it means “information here” or “tap for details.” It comes from the lowercase-i signs for visitor info, transport, maps, and software tooltips, where it marks the source without spelling it out. Copy it from the palette above.

What 🛈 means

🛈 is the circled information source. Unicode classifies it as an “other symbol” — Unicode's shelf for signs that are neither maths, money nor punctuation and files it in the Transport and Map Symbols block; this site shelves it under Pictures.

Its appearance depends on the font and text styling.

How it is encoded

🛈 is a single code point, U+1F6C8. In HTML that is 🛈, and in CSS \1F6C8.

Neutral and helpful; it points to context or a source, not a feeling.

Sent alone, it points without explaining — add the detail.

Don't confuse it with

ℹ

Information

Separate Information Source character; different code point, and fonts draw the two differently.

Questions people ask

Why is my circled i a box or looks different?

No box is broken. It is a font-drawn text glyph with no emoji artwork. A font without it shows a missing-glyph box, and supported fonts draw it differently.
