The character encodes to E2 9A 99 as UTF-8 bytes and 2699 as UTF-16 code units. Its decimal codepoint is 9881.
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.
