How to Use Anchor
To use the Anchor symbol (⚓) in HTML, insert the
entity ⚓ directly into your markup. The decimal entity ⚓ works in any HTML-serialised document.
In CSS pseudo-elements use content: '\2693';.
In JavaScript and TypeScript the escape '\u2693' evaluates to ⚓. In Python source, write '\u2693'.
The character encodes to E2 9A 93 as UTF-8 bytes and 2693 as UTF-16 code units. Its decimal codepoint is 9875.
This is a fully-qualified emoji and should render with colour on iOS, Android, Windows and macOS. Appearance may vary between platforms, but the underlying codepoint is identical everywhere.
