Artwork differs between platforms, so the same code point can look slightly different on another device while keeping its name and meaning.

How to copy and paste these emoji

All 45 symbols in Gestures can be copied straight from the cards on this page. Emoji copy and paste here is plain text, so the character you copy is the character that lands in Slack, WhatsApp, Notion, Word or X.
