Eight Ways to Insert the "Link" Emoji

(Method 1) Copy and Paste the Emoji.

Click on the 🔗 emoji from the table above. Press the "Copy" button, and then paste the symbol into your document.

(Method 2) Use the "Alt Code."

The Alt Code for 🔗 is Alt 128279. If you have a keyboard with a numeric pad, you can use this method. Simply hold down the Alt Key and type 128279. When you lift the Alt Key, 🔗 appears. ("Num Lock" must be on.)

(Method 3) Use the HTML Decimal Code (for webpages).

(Method 4) Use the HTML Entity Code (for webpages).

HTML Text	Output
We do not have the HTML entity code for this emoji because there probably isn't one. If you think there is one, please tell us using the form at the bottom of the page.	none

(Method 5) Use the CSS Code (for webpages).

CSS and HTML Text	Output
<style> span:after { content: "\1F517";} </style> <span>Symbol:</span>	Symbol: 🔗

(Method 6) Use the HTML Hex Code (for webpages).

(Method 7) Use the Unicode (for various, e.g. Microsoft Office, JavaScript, Perl).

The Unicode for 🔗 is U+1F517. The important part is the hexadecimal number after the U+, which is used in various formats. For example, in Microsoft Office applications (e.g. Word, PowerPoint), do the following:

Type	Output
1F517 [Hold down Alt] [Press x]	🔗 (Note that you can omit any leading zeros.)

In JavaScript, the syntax is \uXXXX. So, \u1F517 wouldn't work in JavaScript because it is a 5-character hexadecimal number. To insert this character in JavaScript, the UTF-16 format (\uXXXX\uXXXX) is needed.

JavaScript Text	Output
let str = "\uXXXX\uXXXX" document.write("My symbol: " + str)	My symbol: 🔗

Read more about converting characters with a code place higher than 0x10000 (like this one) to the UTF-16 format.

(Method 8) Use the Hex Code for HTML 5 Canvas.

On the assumption that you already have your canvas and the context set up, use the Hex code in the format 0x1F517 to place the 🔗 emoji on your canvas. For example:

JavaScript Text
const x = "0x"+"1F517" ctx.fillText(String.fromCodePoint(x), 5, 5);
Output
