To use the Raised Hand 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: '\270B';.
In JavaScript and TypeScript the escape '\u270B' evaluates to ✋. In Python source, write '\u270B'.
The character encodes to E2 9C 8B as UTF-8 bytes and 270B as UTF-16 code units. Its decimal codepoint is 9995.
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.
