How to Use Writing Hand
To use the Writing Hand symbol (✍️) in HTML, insert the
entity ✍️ directly into your markup.
In CSS pseudo-elements use content: '\270D';.
In JavaScript and TypeScript the escape '\u270D' evaluates to ✍️. In Python source, write '\u270D'.
The character encodes to E2 9C 8D as UTF-8 bytes and 270D as UTF-16 code units. Its decimal codepoint is 9997.
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.
